When I wake
Breath
Stare out into the dark
I wonder
I wonder what I'll see who I'll meet and what lasting mark will I make today On this earth
Will I paint like Picasso
Will I draw like Leonardo
Will I sing a song like Pavarotti
Then I sigh
What is my life print
What is my way
Will I be remembered
Or fade away
Am I a stone for the viewing
Is this my future
A dancing stone
Full of posies
Waiting for the wedding day child
From a family lost
A faded etch
Seeks my await
I fear for my life print
I fear for that day
Then I wonder
That day is not now
My life is not yet complete
My ink is not yet empty
Nor the paper dry
Or the stone yet cut
For I breath in the earth
I look up to the sky
And I sing to the heavens
I'm me
I'm alive

When I wake
Breath
Stare out into the dark
I wonder
I wonder what I'll see who I'll meet and what lasting mark will I make today On this earth
Will I paint like Picasso
Will I draw like Leonardo
Will I sing a song like Pavarotti
Then I sigh
What is my life print
What is my way
Will I be remembered
Or fade away
Am I a stone for the viewing
Is this my future
A dancing stone
Full of posies
Waiting for the wedding day child
From a family lost
A faded etch
Seeks my await
I fear for my life print
I fear for that day
Then I wonder
That day is not now
My life is not yet complete
My ink is not yet empty
Nor the paper dry
Or the stone yet cut
For I breath in the earth
I look up to the sky
And I sing to the heavens
I'm me
I'm alive
