perfectly designed

Perfectly Designed
by Ivana Hill

Who ever said that life was going to be
A bed of roses and a lullaby?
Who ever said it all would be okay
That we’d never ever bleed or cry?

You see me smiling while this rose it has it thorns;
My song is lilting, still occasionally I’ve mourned.
From the all time crushing’s where sweet incense is born
And I know life
Was perfectly designed…

To teach the reasons why.


Who ever said that life would always seem
Like a walk in a lovely park?
And who ever said it all would stay this way,
Just a never-ending lark?

As a raging fire us consumes,
Like scattered petals, hearts are strewn.
But rising from the ashes we see wisdom start to bloom
And I know life
Was perfectly designed…

To teach the reasons why.


Who ever said that life would always be
Just as easy as your piece of pie?
And who ever said it all would stay this way,
And we’d never have to say goodbye?

I’ve felt the sunshine and the rain,
I’ve known the pleasures and the pain.
From the broken hearted the sweetest love is gained
And I know life
Was perfectly designed…

To teach the reasons why.

Yeah we’ll learn the reasons why.
