Life is a gift like no other Wrapped in the thorns of evil You will try You will bleed But in the end You will still smile There's so much here And so much there So much life Everywhere But you close yourself off You forget who you are Waiting for someone greater To lift you up Teach you how to stand But that someone never comes And never will As long as you crawl What greater miracle is there Than to see and breathe? Do you really need permission Just to believe? There you go again Head hanging low Blindly led By the blind There's so much death So much pain So pour your love away You learn so well How to let your wings decay They say that those who try to fly Are bound to fall They spread their fear Without reason Just to keep you In their hands What greater miracle is there Than the freedom to think? Do you really need approval Just to take the leap? Take control of your soul Pull the reins of your heart Life is far too short To live inside illusion You will fall And you will cry But in the end You will rise You will learn Through the pain How to live While you remain You will suffer And who won't? But you'll grow Because of it You will sail A sea of trials To harvest sweet and bitter From your own decisions What greater miracle is there Than choosing how you live? Do you really need permission To exist? And in the end you will die Because under this Sun Every song has its end But you will have lived With truth This brief instant Called eternity
