For Life

For memories on a starlit night

North of the Denbigh line, oh Lord

For frosted pines shining like diamonds in the morning sun

For a pretty girl and for falling in love, oh love

For spring ice churning the driftwood shore

For birdsong air and windswept hair

For fiddle head strings, and flower bows

For thunder clouds rolling in a purple evening,

While Aspen leaves play tamborine,

For a soul, a song, and a voice to sing,

Just what I'm thinking

Thank You, God, for the open sky

Mysterious depths of her ocean eyes

Thank You for my dreams, my dreams

A poetry both tragic and beautiful

Thank You for life

For everything revealed to see

For what’s kept in mystery, oh Lord

From the finer things to the shirt on my back

The less I have the less I lack

For passion and all that's within me

All that's within me

Thank You, God, for the open sky

Mysterious depths of her ocean eyes

Thank You for my dreams, my dreams

A poetry both tragic and beautiful

Thank You for life

Behind every wonder I find a clue

Beginning to believe that it's coming true

I look onto a new rose dawn debut

Because with every breath You make me new

Before I turn it in tonight

Thank You for life for the open sky

Mysterious depths of her ocean eyes

Thank You for my dreams, my dreams

A poetry both tragic and beautiful

Thank You for life

Behind every wonder I find a clue

Beginning to believe that it's coming true

I look onto a new rose dawn debut

Because with every breath You make me new

Before I turn it in tonight

Thank You for life

Before I turn it in tonight

Thank You for life
