Lyrics
GIFT OF LIFE
(written by Reid Jamieson
& Carolyn V. Mill)
Reduce my fever with a cool attitude
Renew my longing for a day thats never ending
Inrease my chances with a life lived free to choose
Or give me reason to accept the cold and sober facts of life
Is it wrong to want this much from life?
Is it wrong to want this much from you?
Renew my reason when the spark has left my eyes
Save some body, replace the parts they damaged
Dont leave them wasted or consign to the fire
Make them sacred like no lost religion can inspire
Is it wrong to want this much from life?
Is it wrong to want this much from you?
Raise the spirit hidden deep inside my bones
Set it free to roam the fields, streams and avenues
That cover the ground, between heart and home
Burn this body, mix my ashes with the earth that gave me life
Is it wrong to want this much from life?
Is it wrong to want this much from life?
Is it wrong to want this much from life?
Is it wrong to want this much from you?
