Whether it’s playing my guitar
Or driving my car
No matter where I are
I feel your spirit isn’t far

I listened to word spoken
And my heart is broken
Thrashing around choken
Leads to eventual croaken

Words bouncing around in my head
Safe and comforting like a bed
Without them I’d be dead
I would have sunk like lead

I listened to word spoken
And my heart is broken
Thrashing around choken
Leads to eventual croaken

Dance a little stranger
Get out of any danger
You can be a life changer
Like that baby in the manger

Our lives are slipping away
So lets begin anew today
