The Song of Life

(Instrumental intro)

When we wake
And wonder who we are
May your drifting thoughts
Be guided by that bright star
Look around and discover
How you’ve come so far
Through life’s journey
Travelled up to now 

Yesterday, again tomorrow 
So, it goes
While the river running by us
Always flows
With the Seasons 
Now turning into snow
That’s how we thought all our days
Would come and go

But somewhere spawning
When without warning
Across the World a grim
And dire wind blows
For now, in darkness
Spreads all around us
Countless armies
Of so many unseen foes

Abroad they scatter
Our lives to shatter
So burdened
‘Till all the heartache shows
But who could blame us
And who would shame us
When facing all these troubles
And such woes

Look there in the distance
Not far out of sight
I feel sure
There’s a Savior light
That all health shall restore
Gathered round old friends once more
Embrace those simple pleasures
Like you never have before 

(Instrumental break)

For that tide shall bear us
Along and spare us
With the passing of the
Bleak Winter snows
Now in the dawning
Of a brand new morning
Cherish the Spring blossom
As it buds and grows

Share all its glory
Tell the whole story
Sing it loud
‘Till all the wide World knows
While on this journey
We were learning
The song of Life
With all its highs and lows

The Song of Life
That’s how the story goes.
