Life To Life

Well, I sit here back with my old stuff, my favourite music is pumping
out of the stereo, we went down but then we came back up!
I'll be back on the road tomorrow, on the train yesterday I wrote something
called "Young and Overly Mobile".  Today I am full of fire, ready to jump new,
taller buildings.  Ready to booze, laugh, sing, joke and cry my way into the future
faster than the speed of sound, unrestrained by the past and charged the present.

Played this song first this morning (lyrics below).  I've missed my music, I love music more than
any woman, drug, bar or pay-cheque.  The urgency and the lyrics make me feel truly
powerful. I am ready to fly!

Watch me go!

Tom.

Gotta let my heart learn to talk

Must let my head learn to walk
                                
I must forget all the hopeless pain

Must bring my life back to life       once again

Never let them see you crying

Don't try to run before you figured how to crawl

They must believe they own the lions

Never let them guess you learned how to fall

                         
Let them brand you as a sinner

Let them think that your the one who has lost

You won't be charged with being a winner

You won't be saddled being called the boss

Bring life to   life

Life to life

Breath life into life

(life to life )
  
Give life back to life

Why pretend to be so rough and strong
When your weakness is your strongest hand
Why pretend to be so tough so long as you are really an ordinary man

Never let them see you dreaming
Never let them know you conquered your sorrow
Don't let them know your scheming
Don't let them know that you have plans for tomorrow

To bring life to life
Give life back to life
Life to life
(Life to life)
Give life back to life

Will you take the stand? Can you stand the shock?
               
They need an iron man, they wanna man of rock
        
You can keep all the games, the suicide leaps
                
Keep away from the flames, this time we're playing for keeps


Never let them see you crying
But make dang sure your not afraid to cry
Never let them see you trying
Don't let them know you're prepared to die

To bring life to life
Give life back to life
Breath life into life
(Life to life)
Give life back to life

Gotta let my heart learn to talk
Must let my head learn to walk
I must forget all the hopeless pain
Must bring my life back to life once again
