Lyric Dear Life

(G. Lesage/C. Dannemiller)

I watched you begin, my child, See you fading in your father s face.
For the first time I m in the mirror, looking both ways
At where I ve been and where I m headed
It makes me want to live each day like I may not get it.

Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin?on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.

I was bound to give away my heart and have it handed back to me
Until you led me to the one that was always meant to be
I d ve never known joy if I never knew sorrow
When I didn t know how to face tomorrow

Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin?on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.

For once I m gonna rest in the arms of the unknown
And wait to watch you unfold

Dear Life, from my very first breath,
You were one step ahead
Of where I thought I was going
Dear Life,when I loved and I lost
Somehow at all cost
You kept me holdin?on, for
Dear Life, through the healing and scars
Through all you ve showed me so far
I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
