WHO CAN SAY WHEN LIFE IS OVER
THE SILVER CORD BREAKS
AND OUR BREATH RETURNS TO GOD...
WILL WE WALK THROUGH FIELDS OF CLOVER
OR SOAR UP HIGH- THROUGH VALLEYS DEEP AND WIDE
I CAN NOT KNOW ALL THAT'S WAITING THERE
BUT UNTIL THAT DAY THIS IS MY PRAYER... OH YEAH...
(CHORUS)
TAKE MY LIFE
TAKE AWAY ALL THE SHATTERED DREAMS... IN ME
GIVE ME LOVE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER...
TAKE MY LIFE
GIVE ME THE LOVE THAT MAKES ME FREE
CAUSE I BELIEVE...
THAT YOUR LOVE CAN SAVE EVEN A WRETCH, LIKE... ME
****
THIS RACE IS NOT JUST FOR THE RUNNERS
SOME OF US WALK...
WHILE OTHERS BARELY CRAWL...YEAH, YEAH, YEAH...
WE MAKE OUR WAY THROUGH SPRING AND WINTER
LEANING ON STRENGTHS THAT STRENGTHENS ALL... OH...
AND WHEN THE SUNLIGHT FADES THROUGH MORNING
YOU'LL STILL BE BURNING IN MY EYES... OOH YEAH...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
OOOH, OOOH YEAH...OH YEAH...
AND WHEN THE SUNLIGHT FADES THROUGH MORNING...OH... OH...
YOU'LL STILL BE BURNING IN MY EYES... OHH YES...
TAKE MY LIFE
TAKE AWAY ALL THE SHAT-TERED DREAMS... IN M-E...
AND GIVE ME LOVE THAT WILL LAST FOR-EVER...
TAKE MY LIFE...
GIVE ME THE LOVE THAT MAKES ME... FR-E-E...
CAUSE I BELIEVE...
THAT YOUR LOVE CAN SAVE EVEN A WRETCH, LIKE...... ME...
OOOH, OOH, OOH...
