So full of life and vital things upon the brink, I spread my wings and close my eyes and look ahead at all the things I've never said at all the things I should have done of prizes that I've striven for and hopelessly have never won of friends I've made who've come and gone Of mountains that I should have climbed instead, on cushions I reclined and thoughtlessly I drank the wine of Apathy So now that clouds have drifted by and all alone, I lift my eye and see the way to heaven's door and know that life's worth fighting for Next time I see a mountain high I'll bound right up and touch the sky I'll seek the prize and win this time I'm not afraid, I'll take what's mine won't rest on laurels in the sun I'll fly to where the work is done   and if it's worth the price I'll give, of all I have, so we can live in peace, I'll comfort anyone who needs my help to get things done I'll thank the Lord for what he gave his sinless life our souls to save I'll hold my friends much dearer still I'll share the wine, we'll drink our fill No Apathy

Life (Worth fighting for)
So full of life and vital things upon the brink, I spread my wings and close my eyes and look ahead at all the things I've never said at all the things I should have done of prizes that I've striven for and hopelessly have never won of friends I've made who've come and gone Of mountains that I should have climbed instead, on cushions I reclined and thoughtlessly I drank the wine of Apathy So now that clouds have drifted by and all alone, I lift my eye and see the way to heaven's door and know that life's worth fighting for Next time I see a mountain high I'll bound right up and touch the sky I'll seek the prize and win this time I'm not afraid, I'll take what's mine won't rest on laurels in the sun I'll fly to where the work is done   and if it's worth the price I'll give, of all I have, so we can live in peace, I'll comfort anyone who needs my help to get things done I'll thank the Lord for what he gave his sinless life our souls to save I'll hold my friends much dearer still I'll share the wine, we'll drink our fill No Apathy
