I have been rehearsing this song for weeks now so I could sing for Hive account@prettyjules158 on her birthday but when I recorded myself singing today, my neighbour said the voice was so horrible I'm going to give Jules a nightmare on her birthday.

So Jules I'm really sorry, I'm not going to sing for you this year but I'm sure in 20 years time, we'll meet again and I'll sing this song for you.

I met Jules in February, she's one of the testimonies I have from Steemit community relationship- wise. She's very straight forward, opinionated and fun to be with.

Jules is one of the few ladies in the world who know what they want and do go for it. She isn't shy to ask questions and won't pretend to know what she doesn't.

So today, I join the rest of the universe to wish you a happy birthday. I pray in 40-50 years from today, you will look back at the years past and say:

I lived

Hope when you take that jump
You don't feel the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams
They're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
You gave it all you had
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You'll say

*I.. I.. I..
I did it all
I.., I.., I
I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
And they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
Oh.., oh.. oh..
I wish that I could witness
All your joy
And all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

I.., I.., I..
I did it all
I.., I.., I..
I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

I swear I lived
I swear I lived
I swear I lived
I swear I lived

I swear I
