I forgive your weakness
  In light of all this bleakness
  You were merely human
  Destined to be ruined
  
  Startled as your brevity
  Turned to my longevity
  
  I can't follow your steps
  Can't go the places you went
  I must forge my own path
  Overcome & surpass
  
  Startled as your brevity
  Turned to my longevity
  
  The more I see around me
  The more it does to ground me
  At peace with all my limits
  Grateful for all I'm given
  
  Startled as your brevity
  Turned to my longevity
