Make a joyous noise,
crack a joke, talk about the sky
put the phone down for a moment,
please, look me in the eyes.

Show this fragile world
you’re really listening,
it’s full of many wonders
ripe with lessons, glistening.

Take the time to feel the sun
shining ‘gainst your naked skin,
try -- yes, you might fail,
but oftentimes you’ll win.

Never miss a chance
to tell someone “I love you”
reward yourself, be frivolous,
pet the dog, buy the shoes.

It may not seem so now,
but our time is fading fast
soon this moment will be just a
memory, dredged up from the past.

Feel your lungs filling with breath,
your heart beating, sound and strong,
never gloat when you’re right,
say, “I’m sorry” when you’re wrong.

Make a joyous noise,
crack a joke, talk about the sky
put the phone down for a moment,
please, look me in the eyes.

The world screams for your attention
friends and loved ones wonder... why?
you’re hypnotized by that glowing screen
while your life just passes by.
