LEARNING TO LIVE
|
There was no time for pain
|
No energy for anger
|
The sightlessness of hatred slips away
|
Walking through winter streets alone
|
He stops and takes a breath
|
With confidence and self control
|
I look at the world and see no understanding
|
I'm waiting to find some sense of strength
|
I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show some understanding
|
|
I need to live life
|
Like some people never will
|
So find me kindness
|
Find me beauty
|
Find me truth
|
When temptation brings me to my knees
|
And I lay here drained on stength
|
Show me kindness
|
Show me beauty
|
Show me truth
|
|
The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference
|
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
|
The way that your heart beats makes all the difference
|
In learning to live
|
Here before me is my soul
|
I'm learning to live
|
I won't give up
|
Till I've no more to give
|
|
Listening to the city
|
Whispering its violence
|
I set out watching from above
|
The 90's bring new questions
|
New solutions to be found
|
I fell in love to be let down
|
|
Once again we dance in the crowd
|
At times a step away
|
>From a common fear that's all spread out
|
It won't listen to what you say
|
Once you're touched and you stand alone
|
To face the bitter fight
|
Once I reached for love
|
And now I reach for life
|
|
Another chance to lift my life
|
Free the sensation in my heart
|
To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons
|
It brings inner peace within my mind,
|
As I'm lifted from where I've split my life
|
I hear an innocnet voice
|
I hear kindness, beauty and truth
|
|
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference
|
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
|
The way your heart beats makes all the difference
|
In learning to live
|
Spread before you is your soul
|
So forever hold the dreams within our hearts
|
Through nature's inflexible grace
|
