[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]
Some of us choose to live gracefully

Fragile left in the hands of fate
Driven by love and crushed by hate
Until the day the gift is gone and shadows remain
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Some of us choose to live gracefully
Some can get caught in the maze
And lose their way home
Memories will fade
Time races on
What will they say
After you're gone?
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Our gift divine
