Letra de There Was a Life
There was a life Was there before But somehow here upon this night It now means moreAnd all those words She tried to say I've now forgotten Or they've somehow slipped awayAnd in this darkness Is there salvation Is there forgiveness For hesitationCan someone tell me Can someone say when The writer of this story Will just tell us how it all will endAnd somewhere on this night There's a wave on the ocean That crashes on shores Where no one can seeThe tides and the currents Decide every motion From where they are now To where they will beIt cradles them all For they all are its children If one drop disappears It is instantly missedAnd after each wave Has joined up with the shoreline It returns to the sea For that is its one wishThere was a light Was there before But in the darkness of this night It now means moreTo be so close To be so near To see the water there within A young child's tearAnd in our blindness Do we move onward And cling to the lies That we have harboredWe could not admit We were mistaken But if we don't do it now Dear God could you please come Down here And tell me whenAnd somewhere on this night There's a wave on the ocean That crashes on shores Where no one can seeThe tides and the currents Decide every motion From where they are now To where they will beIt cradles them all For they all are its children If one drop disappears It is instantly missedAnd after each wave Has joined up with the shoreline It returns to the sea For that is its one wishIn the dead of the night Tell me what do you see Will you close your eyes child And just listen to meAnd remember this now Hear these words that I say As your story appears At the end of the dayFor my meeting with death Though it has been delayed I have run my hands over The end of his bladeThough the cut wasn't fatal Even though it was deep Well that wound's never healed And the blood it still seepsAre you scared of your life Are you scared of your death Though that day will arrive Well it hasn't come yetFor the days turn to months And the months turn to years As I see them all now Through a prism of tears But don't fear tomorrow And don't fear the night It's where God repairs sorrows That enter your lifeThe remains of your life The remains of the day Well protect every hour Don't give them awayFor each evening we sleep And each morning we rise But you're not the same man That's the way it's devisedFor there're parts of yourself The soul decides to keep And there're parts of yourself That the soul does releaseWith some changes so small That they cannot be seen But death is like sleep With a longer dreamAre you scared of your life Are you scared of your death Though that day will arrive Well it hasn't come yet As for all those mistakes That you've made in your life Must they stay as they are Or can we make them rightOn this night take my hand Keep me near keep me close And if I should die first Could I not be your ghostBut if later in life We should happen to meet Would you keep me so near You could hear my heartbeatThere are reasons to live There are reasons to die But the end's not the end While you're still aliveAliveAliveWhile you're still a...There was a life Was there before
