You can't live,
Without dying,
But you can die,
Without living.
You can tell the truth,
Without lying,
But you can't lie,
Without crying.
You can grow,
Without learning,
But you can't learn,
Without growing.
You can't fire,
Without aiming,
But you can aim,
Without firing.
You can't live,
Without dying,
But you die,
Without living.
