precious life

Connection

I feel connected to those I love
As if tied by string
Though I know it’s some force
Undefined and unseen

The will of God, the voice of Angels
I hold in my belief
When our love ones feel pain
We also feel their grief

When connected, love is found
Our heads are lost in the air
And even when our hearts are distant
The connection is still there

What is our time in this place
If not the connections we have made
Thoughts, actions and memories
That remind us and reaffirm our faith

How heavy our heart can be
When one connection breaks
Spiraling inwards toward our pain
Believing all has been erased

Yet the tie between love is strong
It transcends the limits of this place
Reaching far back through our lives
Looking into the future we all face

We were together then
We are connected now
United in the trials survived
Connected in our memory of the hours

Normal

V1
I feel tired tonight in this mind of mine
I have used it up
Thinking about the design
Though the stars are bright
They don’t always shine

It’s unusual to be normal tonight

Its cold tonight in this heart of mine
I have used it up
Trying to walk loves line
Though Karma is right
It’s not always kind

It’s unusual to be normal tonight

Chorus/Bridge
One chance
One life
One dance
Better, get it right
Then into the night
Just like you were passing by

It’s unusual to be alive

V2
I feel pain tonight through this body of mine
I have used it up
Trying to make the deadline
Though the money pays the bills
That not all there is in this life

Is unusual to be normal tonight

Shame tonight on this demon of mine
I have used it up
Trying to have a good time
Both good and evil
Can create a smile for a time

Its unusual to be normal tonight

Chorus/Bridge
One chance
One life
One dance
Better, get it right
Then into the night
Just like you were passing by

Its unusual just to be alive

V3
I feel hope tonight in this soul of mine
And I will use it up to leave something behind.
The next of us will need all they can find

Thats right,

I feel hope tonight in this soul of mine
This world can be dark but we can still shine
Though this place is normally bored, cold and lost in the grind

Just remember,
it’s unusual just to be alive!

Bridge/end
(Overlapping repeat and fade out to end)
One chance
One life
One dance
Better, get it right
Then into the night
Just like you were passing by

It’s unusual just to be alive!
