Passing through, drawing breath,
Everyday, life and death.
Make no mark, leave no trace,
We can all win this race.

Take a chance, take the blame
Feel the rush, feel the shame.
Crack a grin, shed a tear;
Life is now, death is near.

Hear the grass, smell the trees,
Hate the wind, love the breeze.
Nature grows, nature fades.
Just for you this world was made.

Up we come, out we go.
Who we were, no one knows.
Time will stop, time will pass,
Who we are can never last.

One day I will win the race,
Make no mark, leave no trace.
All that then remains will be
This my graphite legacy.
