There was a life <br />Was there before? <br /> <br />But somehow here upon this night it means more <br />And all those words <br />She tried to say <br />But now forgotten or they have some how slipped away <br /> <br />And now in this darkness, <br />Is there salvation, <br />Is there forgiveness, <br />For hesitation? <br />Can someone tell me <br />Can someone say when, <br />The writer of this story will just tell us how it all will end? <br /> <br />And somewhere on this night there is a wave <br />On the ocean that crashes on shores where no one can see <br />The tides and the currents decide every motion <br />From where they are now to where they will be <br />It craddles them all for they all are it's children <br />If one drop disappears it was instantly missed <br />And after a drain has joined up with the shore line <br />It returns to the sea for that is it's one wish. <br /> <br />There was a light, <br />Was there before? <br /> <br />But in the darkness of this night it now means more <br />To be so close, <br />To be so near, <br />To see the water there within a young child's tear. <br />And to her blindness <br />To me who've onworked <br />And cling to the lights <br />That we have harbored <br />We could not have it <br />We were mistaken <br />But if we don't do it now, <br />Dear God could you please come down here and tell me when? <br /> <br />And somewhere on this night there is a wave <br />On the ocean that crashes on shores where no one can see <br />The tides and the currents decide every motion <br />From where they are now to where they will be <br />It craddles them all, for they all are it's children <br />If one drop disappears it is instantly missed <br />And after a drain has joined up with the shore line <br />It returns to the sea for that is it's one wish. <br /> <br />In the dead of the night, <br />Tell me what do you see? <br />Will you close your eyes child, <br />And just listen to me <br />And remember this now <br />Hear these words that I say <br />As your story appears <br />At the end of the day <br /> <br />For my meeting with death <br />Though it has been delayed <br />I have run my hands over <br />The end of it's blade <br />Though that cut wasn't fatal <br />Even though it was deep <br />Well that wounds never healed <br />And that blood it still seethed <br /> <br />Aren't you scared of your life? <br />Are you scared of your death? <br />Though that day will arrive <br />Well it hasn't come yet <br />So the days turn to months <br />And the months turn to years <br />As I see them all now <br />Through a prism of tears <br /> <br />But don't fear tomorrow, <br />And don't fear the night, <br />Its where God reparis sorrows that enter your life <br />Through the remains of your life <br />The remains of the day <br />They'll protect every hour <br />Don't give them away <br />For each evening we sleep <br />And each morning we rise. <br /> <br />But you're not the same man <br />Thats the way its divised <br />For theres parts of yourself <br />The soul decides to keep <br />And theres parts of yourself <br />That the sould does release <br />With some changes of small <br />They can not be seen <br />But death is like sleep <br />Within our dreams <br /> <br />Aren't you scared of your life? <br />Are you scared of your death? <br />Though that day will arrive <br />Well it hasn't come yet <br /> <br />As for all those mistakes <br />That you've made in your life <br />Must they stay as they are? <br />Or can we make them right? <br />On this night take my hand <br />Keep me near, keep me close <br />And if I should die first <br />Could I not be your ghost? <br /> <br />But if later in life <br />We should happen to meet <br />Would you keep me so near <br />You could hear my heart beat? <br />There are reasons to live <br />There are reasons to die <br />But the ends not the end <br />Cause you're still alive, alive, alive <br /> <br />While you're still a... <br /> <br />There was a life <br />Was there before?...<br /><br />
