From the very start with honor we dueled
We watched each other's back
And we battled with pride
We're closer than brothers
And we trust our fate
To the heart of the cards
No matter what, let the game begin
No matter what, may the best man win
No matter what, we're in this together
No matter what, we'll be friends forever...

As life goes on,
Pain is felt,
Tears are cried
And miseries are put into the utmost bottom of your heart...
The truth has to be accepted,
The past cannot be altered,
But the future can,
Life goes on, live it...

Life... life is a curve... full of ups and downs...
Most people just follow this curve as if it were fate... but it is not fate...
The decisions you make affect the rest of your life...
So where are you on this curve?...
Take a moment to stop... to think... to evaluate...
What could you do to start a new upward curve?...
May be now it's time to ask yourself where you are today...
and where you want to be tomorrow...

As I Walk Through Life
I've learned-
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I've learned-
that maturity has more to do with what types of
experiences you've had and what you've learned
from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned-
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others,
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned-
that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help...

Life ain't no crystal stairs my son
Sometimes it seems unfair making you want to scream
It's best to hold it in and keep your head held high
Because those stairs are so steep and high to the sky
Keep climbing boy, dont fall down when you miss one
Rebound and start climbing again until you are done...
