Being Human

B etween the beginning and the end.
E veryone says that it just might depend.
I f the heavens will shine or the clouds cover up.
N othing but love can fill your cup.
G et down on your knee's and never give up.

H aving a reason to get out of bed.
U nderstanding the difference between live and dead.
M y Lord if you're there, I missed what you said.
A men, alleluia, I pray for your grace.
N evermore will I let you not shine on my face.

For John Hamilton's Being Human Acrostic contest.
