The streets
Will flow with bourbon,
Yes they will, let them flow.
The night is full of promise,
The stars are twinkling bright
And the world feels new.
Regardless of the gnashing teeth
And lamentations my heart
Is filled with joy.

The time to live is now,
I lose myself in the
Magic of the night
Under luminous
Moonlight.

My only option now
Is to live boldly against
The winds of fate
Regardless of
The outcome,
Authenticity dictates
That I live with passion,
Freedom and rebellion.

I refuse to submit
To fear, chaos or hatred,
I shall not abandon
Love or hope,
For this world
Is beautiful.

A short life or a long life?
I choose an authentic life.
I have no other choice,
I have no other choice.
