Unload your bullets, this isn't a mission
take off your vest, there will be no shots
erase your answers this isn't a test
it won't grade you from worst to best

But buckle your seat belts because this is a ride
Be aware at times you will sway from side to side
Hold on tight because you may travel fast
But there is no indication of how long this may last

So hold out your hands as I give you this gift
Let all your guards down and let your worries drift
Let nothing but happiness surround your soul
Open your window and knock down that wall

Let it in, and let it out
Go crazy, be spontaneous, scream and shout
Get to know it inside out

For this is the present you will have for life
For this gift you hold now is the GiFt oF LiFe.
