Carolyn Arends - Life and Death lyrics

rate me

We ride emotions like subway trains

Down in the tunnels inside our brains

And life's a blur speeding past the window

We'd love to stop but who has the time

So much to do -- we're so far behind

And we stay that way no matter how fast we go

I wonder what's the point at which we break

When will we realize just what's at stake

We dance at weddings and we cry at wakes

And then we rush to make the next appointment

It's a matter of life and death

All the chances we're gonna get

To use our voices, make our choices

Happen here and now

What's the matter with all of us

Chase the wind and we miss the bus

We get distracted from what matters

And then somehow we forget

It's life and death

Our guardian angels appear like dreams

They try to show us eternal things

And we decide if we will pay attention

But we're too busy to check the holes

That just keep growing inside our souls

We are wearing thin and so we feel the tension

Between the life we want and the life we need

We're all afflicted by the same disease

Dear God in heaven, won't you show us please

How to be free from this condition

It's a matter of life and death

All the chances we're gonna get

To use our voices, make our choices

Happen here and now

What's the matter with all of us

Chase the wind and we miss the bus

We get distracted from what matters

And then somehow we forget

It's life and death

We've got to remember

It's life and death

Try to remember

It's life and death<br />
