about

In which Don attempts to understand his life.

lyrics

Life is the laughter of hello / It reaches out to me and then says ‘no’ / It calls me in the morning time / Then sends the evening like a joyful rhyme // Life is the dancing of my heart / It pulls together and then pulls apart / It turns my head around again / To face myself and what I’ve always been // If I go on discovering and from my past recovering / I’ll find the road I’m traveling has always been unraveling / It makes it hard to understand my life // Life is the lightning in the rain / It flashes truth so bright it feels like pain / I built a world to keep me dry / But now I’m longing for the open sky // Life is the garden of your love / Warmed from below so let it rain above / We plant the seeds that soon reveal / A loving harvest or a fallow field // If I go on discovering and from my past recovering / I’ll find the road I’m traveling has always been unraveling / If wishes will sustain in me the will to feel the pain in me / I will begin to understand my life // Life, teach me life / Life, let me know / Life, teach me life // Life is the whisper of goodbye / It gives us memories and then asks ‘why?’ / It paints in colors on my mind / A wistful beauty of the fading kind // Life is the sorrow of a song / We leave the saddest ones to say so long / It’s been so good to sing for you / I’ll miss your shining faces when I’m through // If I go on discovering and from my past recovering / I’ll find the road I’m traveling has always been unraveling / If wishes will sustain in me the will to feel the pain in me / If truth that strays too far from me yet still remains a part of me / If laughter in the pouring rain keeps washing out the deepest pain / I will begin to understand my life / And yes I start to understand my life / Oh, maybe I will start to understand my life.
