One Bright Spirit
All my life’s moments unite and resound
All that I was, all that we are
One bright spirit is homeward bound
Once heartbreak and loss, now eternal love found
Time can’t be measured, not close, not far
All my life’s moments unite and resound
The return voyage seemed bleak with no one around
No hand to hold, no guiding star
One bright spirit is homeward bound
It’s late, they’ve poured the final round
It’s time to close the bar
All my life’s moments unite and resound
Trees don’t bear fruit in rocky ground
Dreams cannot take root in tar
One bright spirit is homeward bound
The last New Year’s has passed, a last champagne downed
The final door is slightly ajar
All my life’s moments unite and resound
One bright spirit is homeward bound
