This Is My Life

This is my life
This is my life
This is my time
You show me the light
And I go there.
Give me the wine
Bitter and sweet
And a little bit of bread
That’s all I need.
No, I don’t want the gold from Xanadu
I think I leave it all to you
This is my life and I don’t care.
This is my street,
Are you restless feet
Carry me on to anywhere.
Take the fear
Take it away
And give me some hope
For one more day.
I saw a ghost behind the door
When the kids were coming home from the war
With broken dreams and nothing more.
I heard a woman singing her song
And it was good and warm and strong
She made me cry I don’t know why.
I don’t want to bring you down
I think it’s good to be here
This is my life and I don’t care!
