Life And Death Lyrics

Life And Death lyrics

We ride emotions like subway trains
Down in the tunnels inside our
brains
And life's a blur speeding past the window
We'd love to stop but
who has the time
So much to do - we're so far behind
And we stay that way
no matter how fast we go
I wonder what's the point at which we break
When
will we realize just what's at stake
We dance at weddings and we cry at
wakes
And then we rush to make the next appointment

Chorus:
It's a
matter of life and death
All the chances we're gonna get
To use our
voices, make our choices
Happen here and now
What's the matter with all
of us
Chase the wind and we miss the bus
We get distracted from what
matters
And then somehow we forget
It's life and death

Our
guardian angels appear like dreams
They try to show us eternal things
And
we decide if we will pay attention
But we're too busy to check the
holes
That just keep growing inside our souls
We are wearing thin and so
we feel the tension
Between the life we want and the life we need
We're
all afflicted by the same disease
Dear God in heaven won't you show us
please
How to be free from this condition

Chorus:
It's a matter of
life and death
All the chances we're gonna get
To use our voices, make our
choices
Happen here and now
What's the matter with all of us
Chase the
wind and we miss the bus
We get distracted from what matters
And then
somehow we forget
It's life and death

We've got to remember
It's
life and death
Try to remember
It's life and death
