Marissa Liebowitz - Ignorance

In the begging we were ignorant
We lived a life of bliss
We did not know life's sorrow and woe
Yet we were unknowingly on the path to loneliness

But in the end there is only pain
Only grief and sorrow
Yet our chins are up and our hope is high
For the upcoming tomorrow

And if tomorrow ever does come
these expectations are rarely met
But the battle of life rages on
You always give more than you get

And in the end we all fear death
We hate the thought of a bitter end
But in a world do merciless
Death is truly our most faithful friend
