 <br/>
And just like that<br/>
half a lifetime has passed<br/>
What have I done<br/>
of this moment in time</p>

<p>Seems like nothing<br/>
and yet it is plenty</p>

<p>And just like that<br/>
the other half has come<br/>
What will I do<br/>
of the remaining time</p>

<p>Seems like plenty<br/>
and yet it is nothing</p>

<p>And just like that<br/>
the end will come knocking<br/>
What will I think<br/>
of the time that has gone</p>

<p>Full and happy, empty and fool<br/>
Neither and both, maybe</p>

<p>Life is just like that<br/>
 <br/>
