This Is My Life

This is my life

this is my time

just show me the light

and I go there

Give me the wine

bitter and sweet

and a little bit of bread

that's all I need

No, I don't want the gold from Xanadu

I think I leave it all to you

this is my life

and I don't care

This is my street

are you restless feet

carry me on to anywhere

Take the fear

take it away

and give me some hope

for one more day

I saw a ghost behind the door

when the kids

were coming home from the war

with broken dreams and nothing more

I heard a woman singing her song

and it was good

and warm and strong

she made me cry I don't know why

I don't want to bring you down

I declare it's good to be here

this is my life

and I don't care
