You taught me how to ride a bike
Tie my shoes and fly a kite
How to swim, and how to fish
To see a star and make a wish
Said it‘s okay to make mistakes
Just don‘t get stuck in yesterday
Forgive, forget, and move ahead
Because life is what you make of it
Now You‘re gone, and all I have
Are memories I hold deep
But if I‘m quiet, I hear you‘re voice
Still ringing in my ears
Saying live with no excuses
Love with no regrets
Laugh a lot and leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Don‘t be afraid to cry
And when it‘s finally time, to say goodbye
Nothing to prove, nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
You see, life can not be measured by
The place you live, the car you drive
The thing that counts the day you die
Is who you are, and what‘s inside
So tell the truth, don‘t ever lie
Integrity at any price
Your words, your bond, your highest price
So guard it close, and live your life
So many things, I learned from you
Bout῾ life and love and play,
But I learned more by how you lived
Then what I heard you say
So I live with no excuses
And I love with no regrets
I laugh a lot, and I leave this life
With nothing left unsaid
Make this world a better place
Don‘t be afraid to cry
And when it‘s finally time, to say goodbye
And when it‘s finally time, to say goodbye
And when it‘s finally time, to say goodbye
There‘s nothing to prove, nothing to lose
Nothing to hide

Of all the songs you would fall in love with, it's the very same song I want to hear. But I think this song speaks a lot about life. The kind of life I want to lead. One with no regrets, nothing left unsaid. Nothing to prove, nothing to lose, nothing to hide.
We ain't getting out of life alive anyway. So I will laugh a lot, and I won't be afraid to cry. After all, without the tears, can there still be laughter? It was through a lot of tears, that I finally learnt how to open myself up. It was through a lot of tears, I hear the soft voice of God. It was through a lot of tears, that I learn more about life and people. So why am I so afraid of my own tears?
I guess it's a sign of weakness... I don't want to be weak in your eyes. I am your little girl after all. I want to show you that I have grown up. That I can look after myself, despite what you say. I can. If you stop focusing on all my imperfections, I'm sure you will see that I am no longer the little baby you once held in your arms anymore. I can look after myself. You were never really around to guide me anyway. God has, and always will be, my guide. So don't worry. I'll be safe in His Hands.
And I'll live with no excuses, and love with no regrets. Even if my heart gets broken... Even if I'm afraid... God will be there to hold my hand and wipe away my tears. And I'll look back one day and smile. So don't worry. Stop worrying. I'll be fine.
