And if in time the day's defeat

Should seal those lips I love so sweet

I'd catch up to her wandering feet

And lay the law down upon her sheets

And if in time this love should pass

And throw my heart upon the grass

I wouldn't hang on to the past

I'd sell my sorrows for a glass

And pull myself from this morass

And save myself this sombre cast

But no so fast



And if in time I find my soul

And liken myself to a bowl

That takes the milk but leaves it cold

Then I will have defined my role

To work on myself till complete

And transform all that life secretes

So I won't have mistakes repeat

And save myself from sure defeat

So peace to all that my voice greets



So peace to all that hears my voice

We survive because we have no choice

So peace to all that hears my voice

We survive because we have no choice

So peace to all that hears my voice

We survive because we have no choice
