Life Time
Shaffan Mustafa

Don't sweat the unimportant things
Just be happy with what today brings
Don't worry about the stress or the deadlines
Memories of duty will be hazy
Only things that'll stick with you are the good times
I still remember living in the dorms with my friends
Working on something that was due at midnight
I just recall that after I turned it in
I was up till 3AM with my friends that night
And now I never forget that making memories
Is more important than meeting due dates
There’s always going to be more work to do
But your current friends don’t always stick with you
I may not be a freshman anymore
But I’ve never been this excited for what’s in store
Your intuition is your guide
If you see a golden opportunity to advance in life, don't let it slide
But if you see a moment that can't be replaced
Then I don't have to tell you that there's no time to waste
I'm still young enough that there's still a lot of oyesters and so many pearls
And you can stand still if you want to, the hour hand always whirls
There's no free time
No down time
Only life time
Some good things come only once in a lifetime
I know that I'll be older with more responsibilities soon enough
And I know I'll only be on this Earth once
But if I play it right
I know once will be all I need
The time of life is short
Not many more days to wake up and go to bed
Don't waste them being filled with dread
Only one life time
I only hope
Between duties, accomplishments, and responsibilities
Between destroying barriers and building communities
You end up having the time of your life
