When it happens all at once
And peace isn't easy.
It's screaming in a tunnel
And the echo is life.
When the sun breaks the horizon
And light shines strong.
It's the opening of a blossom
And it's aroma is life.
When storms gather up above
and lightning burns you.
It's the thunder that cracks
And the rain is life.
When lips are kissed
And hands are held.
It's the beating of two hearts
And love is life.
And when life slips away
In the quiet of the night
And hopes rust
And dreams crumble
It's saying a prayer, which is life.
