about

A song about being who you are and living the life you've got.

lyrics

This wasn't quite the way I thought my life was gonna be
Dreams of glory, health and youth have all now taken leave
But across the glowing embers of the life I longed to live
A still small voice reminded me

Long as I remember, here and now were not enough
The clearest skies were only shades of grey
Reaching for the heavens but landing in the rough
Tomorrow always just one more today
But through the parting clouds of life as I thought it should be
A still small voice reminded me...

CHORUS
This is my life
These are my dreams
These are my tears
This is my disease
This is my beating heart
My memory
This is my song
This is me


Confusing my reflections with the man I really was
I didn't know the funhouse mirror lied
Or that long ago the lights went out
My soul lay petrified
And every question's answer "just because..."
As I pull aside the web of lies I thought reality
My true voice reminded me ...

CHORUS #2
This is my life
These are my hands
These are my tears
These are my demands
This is my beating heart
My reality
These are my prayers
This me....

I am through with visions of a grand destiny
The life I live was set apart for me
And I will not go quietly into the night
For I was born with everything I need
But come what may this moment I am free!

Can you feel it growing now
Can you feel it deep inside
Deep down inside your soul
They say, No Man is an island
No, no man is an island
But you can sail the seven seas of loneliness

This wasn't quite the way I thought my life was gonna be...
