On the other hand...

"A brief candle;
both ends burning
An endless mile;
a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird You're free at last.

--Charlie Daniels

Written en route to the funeral for his friend, Ronnie Van Zant of the band, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
