Life Story

Divine is the nature of the universe
Aligned are the stars above
Resigned to the limits of this physical curse
Divine is the nature of love
Confined to this rock through time and space
Denied the freedom to choose
I find beauty in this time and place
Confined to this rock so blue

We crawl until we walk
And then we finally run
Chasing a life long dream
Into the fading sun

We coo until we talk
Until we finally scream
Chasing a life long dream
Chasing a life long dream

The vine plays mother to the grape
The wine a mother's glory
Defying the odds of a crueler fate
Is the truth of our life story

We see until we squint
And then we open wide
Chasing a life long dream
To the other side
We sense until we know
Until we finally glean
Chasing a life long dream
Chasing a life long dream

Refined is all nature through trial and error
Designed to seek the morning
Relying on grace to rid despair
Refined is my life story
The vine plays father to the grape
The wine a father's glory
Defying the odds for goodness sake
Is the truth of our life story

We crawl until we walk
And then we finally run
Chasing a life long dream
Into the fading sun
We sense until we know
Until we finally glean
Chasing a life long dream
Chasing a life long dream

The vine plays mother to the grape
The wine a mother's glory
Defying the odds for goodness sake
Is the truth of our life story
