My Purpose In Life
I've been out there climbing mountains
Fighting demons and swimming waves
I've been working for the freedom
From the life that makes us slaves
I've been wishing on a star
That other planets call a sun
Chasing fading rainbows
While trying not to run
I'd like to keep myself in check
And master every turn
I want to know that all I have
Is everything I've earned
I want the joy of knowing how
And knowing when and where
I want to know the peacefulness
Of lifes eternal chair
To sit upon a cloud of joy
And watch the time go by
I'd marvel at the colors of
A blazing sunset sky
My ears would hear the splendid tune
Of angels as they sing
My heart would feel the sweet release
Their joyful voices bring
I'd close my eyes to drift away
Upon an endless flight
And bathe myself within the glow
Of loves eternal light
All of this is what I dream
While carving out my days
In hopes that all I've ever lived
Will never fade away
