about

Music: Phil Hodges
Lyrics: Michael Minkoff

lyrics

We all have little time
to live our lives.
We have barely enough
to say our goodbyes.

And so we’ll try before the night
to fight the fight and make it right
and stay the day. Oh, the day!
But it all slips away.

One dawn, we’ll greet the light
with failing eyes.
We’ll be so tired and gray,
so slow to realize.

And so we’ll try before the night
to fight the fight and make it right
and stay the day. Oh, the day!
But it all slips away.

And is it all part of a plan?
If that’s so, I feel irrelevant.
A spare piece stuck in a great machine
that pays no attention as it counts the time
I’m keeping.

I want to be safe in his hand—
he whose eye is on the sparrow.
When everything passing will be alive,
and the groaning world will see
the sign and seal,
the grave will yield
the sons revealed.

He’ll roll it up when it’s done—
when history is threadbare and worn.
Goodspeed God’s fire.
Pale sin withers, blisters in the pure desire
making everything new. . . .
