Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) - There Was A Life songtekst

Je score:

[Tran-Do]



There was a life

Was there before

But somehow here upon this night

It now means more



And all those words

She tried to say

I've now forgotten

Or they've somehow slipped away



And in this darkness

Is there salvation

Is there forgiveness

For hesitation



Can someone tell me

Can someone say when

The writer of this story

Will just tell us how it all will end



And somewhere on this night

There's a wave on the ocean

That crashes on shores

Where no one can see



The tides and the currents

Decide every motion

From where they are now

To where they will be



It cradles them all

For they all are its children

If one drop disappears

It is instantly missed



And after each wave

Has joined up with the shoreline

It returns to the sea

For that is its one wish



There was a light

Was there before

But in the darkness of this night

It now means more



To be so close

To be so near

To see the water there within

A young child's tear



And in our blindness

Do we move onward

And cling to the lies

That we have harbored



We could not admit

We were mistaken

But if we don't do it now

Dear God could you please come

Down here

And tell me when



And somewhere on this night

There's a wave on the ocean

That crashes on shores

Where no one can see



The tides and the currents

Decide every motion

From where they are now

To where they will be



It cradles them all

For they all are its children

If one drop disappears

It is instantly missed



And after each wave

Has joined up with the shoreline

It returns to the sea

For that is its one wish



In the dead of the night

Tell me what do you see

Will you close your eyes child

And just listen to me



And remember this now

Hear these words that I say

As your story appears

At the end of the day



For my meeting with death

Though it has been delayed

I have run my hands over

The end of his blade



Though the cut wasn't fatal

Even though it was deep

Well that wound's never healed

And the blood it still seeps



Are you scared of your life

Are you scared of your death

Though that day will arrive

Well it hasn't come yet



For the days turn to months

And the months turn to years

As I see them all now

Through a prism of tears

But don't fear tomorrow

And don't fear the night

It's where God repairs sorrows

That enter your life



The remains of your life

The remains of the day

Well protect every hour

Don't give them away



For each evening we sleep

And each morning we arise

But you're not the same man

That's the way it's devised



For there're parts of yourself

The soul decides to keep

And there're parts of yourself

That the soul does release



With some changes so small

That they cannot be seen

But death is like sleep

With a longer dream



Are you scared of your life

Are you scared of your death

Though that day will arrive

Well it hasn't come yet

As for all those mistakes

That you've made in your life

Must they stay as they are

Or can we make them right



On this night take my hand

Keep me near keep me close

And if I should die first

Could I not be your ghost



But if later in life

We should happen to meet

Would you keep me so near

You could hear my heartbeat



There are reasons to live

There are reasons to die

But the end's not the end

While you're still alive



Alive



Alive



While you're still a...



There was a life

Was there before
