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.
