I’d want to see my God  
Why I should die  
Would I be more noticed  
Than I ever was before?  
Would the things I’ve said and done  
Matter any more?  
I’d have to know  
I’d have to know my Lord

A time to be born, a time to die  
A time to plant, a time to reap  
A time to kill, a time to heal  
A time to laugh, a time to weep

The moments seemed lost in all the noise  
A snow storm a stimulating voice  
Of warmth of the sky of warmth when you die  
Were we ever warmer on that day  
A million miles away  
We seemed from all eternity

Straight light moving and removing  
Sharpness of the colour sun shine  
Straight light searching all the meanings  
Of the song  
Long last treatment of the telling that  
Relates to all the words sung  
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits  
You

You always hurt the one you love  
The one you shouldn’t hurt at all  
You always take the sweetest rose  
And crush it till the petals fall

You always break the kindest heart  
With a hasty word you can’t recall  
So if I broke your heart last night  
It’s because I love you most of all

If you gave me nothing  
Nothing more than this  
I would have the memory to keep  
Let me make a simple wish  
As we fall asleep  
Let me wake with you by my side

Always, always

For what is a man, what has he got?  
If not himself, then he has naught  
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels  
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.  
Yes, I did it my way.

Take the power, we’re all free  
Take the power, you gotta let it bleed

Kiss the heart that hides this face, it never fades
