This world is full of vices and sins 
But I won't give up no I won't give in
I may stumble I may fall 
But I won't lose it all
People lie, cheat, and deceive
But they can't take the blessings I will receive
The world has fallen into darkness
But there is peace to the blankness
A new beginning is to start
But who will stay and not depart 
So I bequeath this job to you
But I do not know what you will do
I trust you with the world's fate
But for all I know it is too late

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
