Portraits on my bookcase, smiling down at me
Sure do miss you more & more each day
Tho’ you’re no longer here, your messages are clear
To sing this song for someone to hear
I learned for certain when you passed,
There are no guarantees
Will I be here for even one more day?
Don’t need no one to save me,
Just use these gifts God gave me
Before I’m old & they all fade away
Gonna live while I’m alive, doin’ more than just survive
Seek my truth, let my spirit fly
Gonna say what I got to say, in my own very special way
Take a breath & sing out what’s inside,
& live while I’m alive... While I’m alive
Dreams swirling around me, I feel your love surround me
With power to astound & lift my soul
I wanna live - I’m gonna live
So maybe as you hear this song, you’ll ask yourself too
How much livin’ do I dare to do?
Life’s slipping by, so get out there & try
Express the dream that lives inside of you
Get out & live while you’re alive,
Doin’ more than just survive
Seek your truth, let your spirit fly
Go on & say whatcha’ got to say,
In your own very special way
Take a breath & sing out what’s inside,
& live while your alive... while you’re alive
There’s lots of time for sleepin’ later on
