love life
love life
love life
embrace it
.
fear is the killer of minds
disinclined to revere the caress left behind
feeling austere
we steer desperately
veer to the wreck of the hesperus
tethered to fright
light sources falter
thus altering state
of minds tied to fate’s wayward design
pavement cracks fractured
we fall back
on all that
we capture
from major decline
.
heaven forbid
the participant dies
before vigilant eyes
prize significant rise
heaven forbid
the participant dies
before vigilant eyes
prize significant rise
heaven forbid
the participant dies
before vigilant eyes
prize significant rise
bid for position astride a white horse
march towards an indigenous tribe
(try)
.
love life
love life
love life
embrace it
.
love life
embrace it
seems unkind to waste it
can fire our desire
providing we taste it
reach for the spire
you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
.
this is the way to feel your life
this is the time to be alive
beautiful people
beautiful people
you’ve got to live right now
.
let me show you
let me show you love
let me show you
let me show you love
let me show you
let me show you love
let me show you
you’ve got to live right now
.
love life
embrace it
live each dream
and chase it
seek the red cedar tree
fearlessly shake it
reach for the skyrise
you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
.
from sheer drops
our teardrops
can quench engineered crops
refurbishing earth
to concur souvenir shop
should a pin drop
within earshot
there’s a slingshot on hand
dead eye and a clear shot
to the quick stop
of the damned
.
let me show you
let me show you love
let me show you
let me show you love
let me show you
let me show you love
let me show you
you’ve got to live right now
.
underhand they may be
but with that comes a great need
to take heed
of brave deeds
through pit stops unplanned
fall back
on all that we capture
from gridlock and lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
(span)
.
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
(right now)
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
(right now)
lift off
equipped to spread
lift off
equipped to spread
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
(right now)
.
love life
love life
(right now)
love life
embrace it
(right now)
.
to have lost
we had to love
we had to taste
we had to touch
we had to laugh
we had to cry
we had to live
we had to die
.
to have lost
we had to love
we had to taste
we had to touch
we had to laugh
we had to cry
we had to live
we had to die
.
we had to feel with every sense revealed by trusting just enough
to know that what we felt was purely love
.
love life
embrace it
seems ill-timed to waste it
can fire our desire
providing we taste it
reach higher than spire
and you might find
you make it
leap blind
from the steeple
take flight
.
take flight
(flight)
take flight
(flight)
take flight
(flight)
take flight
.
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
.
(take flight)
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
lift off
equipped to spread
lift off
equipped to spread
lift off
equipped to spread wings beyond span
(span)
.
love life
embrace it
