Life And Death

歌詞

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
