Alive Because of You
Nevermore alive by way of you
Who sees the need to speak alone
Hidden by the affinity of souls
To give to that which remains unseen
As we dwell on reasons lost
To me and you and those of us
Who lost their way long ago
Yet seek the answers within the mess
Of our lives and daily toil
We are here today
For sake of the unknown
As if a book of sorrows were opened
And seen by those uncaring
With shallow understanding but aloof
Yet visible to all
Because of you there is life in me
A spark, a vision, a song to all
Whose strife is the illusion
Given to you and me for all.
So that in the seeking of the vision
We find the core replete
That gives the mean the manner
To which we live today and before
The fires raged within us
And found us absent of the mind
And gone away to see the wizards
Of the kingdoms beyond the shores
So that reason has a reason
For departures long and hard
But we sailed a course surrounded
By the friends and the foes
Yet we still can see the fathoms
By the shore of the sea
We live because we live alive
And scatter away the days
For life is in the living
Because of you and me within
