Lyrics: The Gift of Life

Can you hear that heart calling out from a memory?
Within the hurt shines the wounded spark of you
And here inside, as we tumble through the "day to day"
burns high the flame that could safely guide us through

Do you hear that voice, silent through the symphony?
Afraid to rise lest its failings might be shown
And once again, tears of longing for the mysteries
Fall like a rain on the face where love was known

We cannot see with these eyes an end to misery
Nor these ears hear an end to cries of pain
Seeing, knowing, telling, showing
Bearing our witness to this masquerade of shame

Come play the music and spend a while in dance with me
Embrace the soul left bewildered by the fight
and whilst no rest offers comfort in calamity
Still angels watch, sustain us in our night

Through other eyes we could see a world of dreams
With other ears we might hear ourselves again
Seeing, knowing, telling, showing
Children of freedom, the gift of Life reclaim

Through other eyes we could see a world of dreams
With other ears we might hear ourselves again
Seeing, knowing, telling, showing
Children of freedom, the gift of Life
Reclaim
Oh Yeah! :-)
