"Carpe diem," he said to me
There is no other day like this one
Today we will celebrate life
Do cartwheels in the field
Ride the carousel at the park
We'll seize the day
And spend it like it's our last
We'll eat veggie dogs and ice cream cones
Until we're about to burst
We'll drive fast and with the windows down
And we'll shout the lyrics of our favorite songs
"Carpe diem," I said to him
Let's laugh like children do
We'll hang upside down on the monkey bars
And walk barefoot in the grass
There isn't any school today
No work or household chores
Today we're going to celebrate being alive
We'll ride horses along the beach
And catch fireflies at dusk
But then we'll set them free
So they too can continue
Being alive
