Just One Life lyrics

I did not know youOur lives never touched Til the day they gatheredTo bid you farewellAnd they painted your pictureAnd as I looked aroundI felt I saw youIn the words and the sound
Your talent came flowingThrough the stories they tellAnd through the facesOf those who loved you so wellYour life gave them a treasureA piece of themselvesSomething they carryAnd still serves them well
Just one lifeJust one lifeJust one lifeThat is born and is and is goneJust one lifeAnd I m so glad to know youAs I know you now
Perhaps inside youYou were messed up like meBut to them you were whole and strongAnd friend in their needAnd what you left behind youAnd what swept over meSays that your life s workRolls on and onA piece of eternity
Just one lifeJust one lifeJust one lifeThat is born and is and is goneJust one lifeDid you ever have the chance to find outWhat life is all about
I did not know youOur lives never touched Til the day we gatheredTo say our farewells
Taken From The Album "BACK TO THE LIGHT" (1992)
