While We Live

I wish I knew a blessing
For a time like right now
I know you're in pain, but you'll figure it out

I did it to be simple
And not over profound
Just a poem to remind you to put that weight down

Put that weight down

Well tonight, yes tonight
We've got nothing up but time
So lets keep this fire burnin'
Until that sun comes around

Well tonight, oh tonight
Let no water flow under bridges
Light a chalice of forgiveness
For the ones that we burn down

Cause it's a long road
And we've got to lighten our load
And figure out, how
To put it all down
And listen to the sound of what's happening now
And sing

(Chorus)
While we livе, let us live
While wе live, let us live, yeah
So when we die, we can die
With a sparkle in our eye
No way for us to say, that we never didn't try
To forget and forgive
While we live, let us live

(Verse)
Today, oh today
We need nothing up to say
Clouds are shattered by sun rays
Already wheels turning again, because

I see a golden ripple
Energy double and triple
Patiently waiting for ship to come in
Riding waves back to where they begin

And times are rough, it's gunna get too long
Be mindful of all the shit we carry round
How, to put it all down
Listen to the sound of what's happenin' now
And sing

(Chorus)
While we live, let us live
While we live, let us live, yeah
So when we die, we can die
With a sparkle in our eye
No way for us to say, that we never didn't try
To forget and forgive
While we live, let us live

(Interlude)

I wish I knew a blessing
For a time like right now
I know you're in pain, but you'll figure it out

I did it to be simple
And not over profound
Just a poem to remind you to put that weight down

Put that weight down
