Song Lyrics

Walk with me to the waterside
See the sun sinking slow
Paint a canvas sky from blue to red and gold
Hold my hand sitting in the sand
The light slips past the trees
Draws back the curtain on a shimmering galaxy

And I wonder at the mystery of the breath inside our lungs
The very gift that sustains me, holds the life of everyone
And I am grateful, grateful to be alive

I wake with you lying by my side
As if you've always been there
Gentle curving frame, soft and golden hair
I still remember a place in time
All I had was a prayer
A simple wish - a life that we could share

And I when I wonder at the mystery of our love I'm overcome
Of all the billions of people our two hearts they beat as one
And I am grateful, grateful to be alive

But I get lost sometimes
My blood runs cold and my eyes grow blind
When I've reached my end and can't find my way
You're standing there right in front of me

Ooooo

So I wonder at the mystery of a love that seeks me out
Through every season of suffering, in my fear and in my doubt
And I am grateful, grateful to be alive
