Matches Lyrics

Life!

Life is like a match

When we're born, our hearts light on fire

We start breathing and we start feeling

We start rejoicing and we start dreaming

And as we grow, we burn

When we create and when we learn

When we laugh and when we cry

But then we bend down and grow old

And slowly, slowly, our light fades away

Until we breathe for the very last time

And leave a tiny smoke behind us

But what is the most special thing

What makes us resemble a match

When we're born, something warm lights up in our hearts

Love

And we start loving

And as we grow

We still love

And when we grow old

We love

And throughout our life, we can give this warmth

Throughout our life, we can give love

It's in our power

And it's up to us to be either a selfish match and be alone

Or to be a helping match, making others happy

It's up to me!

It's up to you!

You need to decide

You need to decide today!
