Analysis of Nearing The End
Live like you were dying
Well, I sure am trying
With a trip to
Daytona Beach, Florida.
Nothing seemed so
Out of reach
As to go to the Beach
Except the Lighthouse
That I couldn't breach.
Now I've been
To the Beach
Climbed that Lighthouse
And nothings out of reach.
Since I've finally
Gotten to the Beach.
