The Chance To Do It Again

The longer I live, Take from and give This extraordinary life Divine; Despite all the shackles We try hard to tackle New mountains and vistas to climb. And reach for the wonder, New meaning and thunder In the rain and the pain and the chill; The longer I live, Take from and give This life continues to thrill. My mind – heart –soul In the depths of untold History, mystery and song; Up there somewhere Angels I hear Sailing and strolling along. Side by side This world and the next Barely a heart beat away; True love and dreams Are all that we need At the end of each Difficult day. Down In the valley Where shadows creep And nothing of matter remains; I'd raise heaven and holy hell For the chance to do it again.
