"Song For The Life" lyrics

Song For The Life

Well I don't drink
As much as I used to
Lately, it just ain't my style
And the hard times
Don't hurt like they ought to
They pass quicker
Like when I was a child

And somehow I've learned
How to listen
For a sound
Like the sun going down
In the magic
The morning is bringing
There's a song for
The life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground

And the midsummer days
Sit so heavy
But don't they flow like
The breeze through your mind
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for
Someone's lost time

And somehow I've learned
How to listen
For a sound
Like the sun going down
In the magic
The morning is bringing
There's a song for
The life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground

And somehow I've learned
How to listen
For a sound
Like the breeze dying down
In the magic
The morning is bringing
There's a song
For the friend I have found
She keeps my feet on the ground
She keeps my feet on the ground
