lyrics

i stumbled upon wise words today
written by a living Florence nightingale
five wishes born out of regret
from people lying on their dying bed

the first regret was lack of courage
to live in honour of dreams so their truth could emerge
but instead their own choices had led
to only living as others expected

so i pondered to see what I could learn
inside me something changed as the tide began to turn
my heart became the ocean, my body a sail
adrift but where I’ll land only time will tell

the second wish came mostly from men
who’d wind back time to see their wife and children again
for they’d worked endlessly till the end
running a treadmill of existence

the third regret was not allowing release
of true feelings for the sake of trying to keep the peace
but they wish they’d dared to express
what caused suffering and bitterness

so I pondered to see what I could learn
inside me something changed as the tide began to turn
My heart became the ocean, my body a sail
adrift but where I’ll land only time will tell

the forth cry went out to their friends
for all the years that soared by but only at the end
did they notice the depth of the gift
of golden friendships too exquisite to miss

the final epiphany was realising there’s a choice
when it comes to being happy
