Twice in a Lifetime

Twice upon a lifetime Was a mystic and a singer Who sang too many songs of love Lost faith in her belief How can man divide his soul Between this hell, this heaven Singers seem to find Too many problems Never answers When a sailor runs Away to sea He's looking for his Chance at destiny In the end he'll realize That all is fair in love And dreams of mystery Planes fly in with food And love to save The starving millions While planes fly in to Feed the hungry guns Of disbelief Politicians cry for votes Shaking hands here With the devil Change the system Is the only song They've got for singing When a dreamer moves From side to side He's looking for the Words to justify Like a singer lost In her belief She sings away her fear With every sigh In the end you'll Realize, that all is truth In love and mysteries Of life Twice upon a lifetime Is just long enough To witness All is all that Dances round you Singing as we live Take it as it comes to you This reflection of your living Remembering that all in all You're part of the forgiving --- Twice in a Lifetime - Jon Anderson
