Trans-Siberian Orchestra - There Was A Life lyrics
rate me<BR>
<i>[Tran-Do]</i><br>
<br>
There was a life<br>
Was there before<br>
But somehow here upon this night<br>
It now means more<br>
<br>
And all those words<br>
She tried to say<br>
I've now forgotten<br>
Or they've somehow slipped away<br>
<br>
And in this darkness<br>
Is there salvation<br>
Is there forgiveness<br>
For hesitation<br>
<br>
Can someone tell me<br>
Can someone say when<br>
The writer of this story<br>
Will just tell us how it all will end<br>
<br>
And somewhere on this night<br>
There's a wave on the ocean<br>
That crashes on shores<br>
Where no one can see<br>
<br>
The tides and the currents<br>
Decide every motion<br>
From where they are now<br>
To where they will be<br>
<br>
It cradles them all<br>
For they all are its children<br>
If one drop disappears<br>
It is instantly missed<br>
<br>
And after each wave<br>
Has joined up with the shoreline<br>
It returns to the sea<br>
For that is its one wish<br>
<br>
There was a light<br>
Was there before<br>
But in the darkness of this night<br>
It now means more<br>
<br>
To be so close<br>
To be so near<br>
To see the water there within<br>
A young child's tear<br>
<br>
And in our blindness<br>
Do we move onward<br>
And cling to the lies<br>
That we have harbored<br>
<br>
We could not admit<br>
We were mistaken<br>
But if we don't do it now<br>
Dear God could you please come<br>
Down here<br>
And tell me when<br>
<br>
And somewhere on this night<br>
There's a wave on the ocean<br>
That crashes on shores<br>
Where no one can see<br>
<br>
The tides and the currents<br>
Decide every motion<br>
From where they are now<br>
To where they will be<br>
<br>
It cradles them all<br>
For they all are its children<br>
If one drop disappears<br>
It is instantly missed<br>
<br>
And after each wave<br>
Has joined up with the shoreline<br>
It returns to the sea<br>
For that is its 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>
<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 his blade<br>
<br>
Though the cut wasn't fatal<br>
Even though it was deep<br>
Well that wound's never healed<br>
And the blood it still seeps<br>
<br>
Are 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>
For 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>
But don't fear tomorrow<br>
And don't fear the night<br>
It's where God repairs sorrows<br>
That enter your life<br>
<br>
The remains of your life<br>
The remains of the day<br>
Well protect every hour<br>
Don't give them away<br>
<br>
For each evening we sleep<br>
And each morning we arise<br>
But you're not the same man<br>
That's the way it's devised<br>
<br>
For there're parts of yourself<br>
The soul decides to keep<br>
And there're parts of yourself<br>
That the soul does release<br>
<br>
With some changes so small<br>
That they cannot be seen<br>
But death is like sleep<br>
With a longer dream<br>
<br>
Are 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>
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>
<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 heartbeat<br>
<br>
There are reasons to live<br>
There are reasons to die<br>
But the end's not the end<br>
While you're still alive<br>
<br>
Alive<br>
<br>
Alive<br>
<br>
While you're still a...<br>
<br>
There was a life<br>
Was there before<br>
<BR><BR>
