Lyrics: You lived your life like you were on fire But how can I dance when your soul just lifted me higher and higher and higher? Paint bleeds, ink runs, image of your love Your memory, our history (Why did you have to go?) I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you And I could paint you picture perfect even if I were blinded But you have to die for me to see how to live (For me to see how, for me to see how oh, For me to see how, for me to see how to live) I lived my life hiding in shadows but now I can see 'Cause your soul is lifting me higher and higher and higher Paint bleeds, I can't breathe, need you here with me Close my eyes I can feel you close

Definition: The presumed cause, force, principle, or divine will that predetermines events.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look, At a word that’s tricky, a philosophical hook! We're tackling ‘fate,’ a concept grand and deep, Let’s break it down before you fall asleep. The dictionary gives us a helpful plea, "The presumed cause, force, principle, or divine will… that predetermines events," you see! Now, what does that really mean to you? Think of it like this, a colorful view: Fate is about destiny, a path laid out in time, A feeling that something's happening, in rhythm and rhyme. It’s not just luck, though luck plays its part, But a larger influence, a guiding art. Like a river flowing to the sea so wide, Fate suggests events are already decided inside. Some folks believe it’s written from above, A divine plan, guided by endless love… or sometimes, a twist of fate's cruel glove! Others see it as something we create with our choices and deeds, Planting the seeds that grow, fulfilling all our needs. It’s a complex idea, don't you agree? A question pondered for centuries, you see! So, to recap, fate is more than just chance, It's a powerful current, a pre-determined dance. Now, does anyone have questions or want to share their thought? Let’s discuss it as a class.
