lyrics

ONLY LIFE (4:01) Love burned with anger when I lost it. Love threw me sorrow out of spite. But it showed me the innocence of the heart that aches inside. Love gave me fear and made me face it. It gave me scars that I never tried to hide. But it showed me the beauty of the world that waits outside. I walked so long on this uphill road to forgive Love, and I finally found myself on top of the world when I let it all go. Only Life can pave the road to heaven. Only Love can lighten your burden. Trust you heart to know the road to heaven. It’ll be clear as day, it’s the straightest highway to you. Love brought on me darkness and made me blind, and filled me with questions and unreliable desires. But it showed me the valor of the man that came alive. Love fed me spirit in my last mile. Love brought me joy and ever since I never lost my smile, nor the wonder for the mystery that’s life. I prayed so much on this uphill road to forgive it all, and I finally found myself on top of the world when I let it all go.
