All That Binds

The spiral down at the end of life

Can be such a painful thing

To watch the years go slipping by

Toward the day those church bells ring

Struggling with the facts of life

As the birds fly free all day

Yesterday's gone tomorrow's far off

In the moments where I need to stay

We live on

Through the love we leave behind

We live on through all that binds

My restless heart could be so still

If the world would go away

Running on like a waterfall

And live to run another day

Mother sent to me as time moved in son

You have to make a beautiful sound

That was the thing I remember most

As the day finally wound down

We live on

Through the love we leave behind

We live on through all that vines

The spiral down at the end of life

Can be such a beautiful thing

With no regrets and no respect

Just the song that you're given to sing

We live on

Through the love we leave behind

We live on through all that binds

We live on

Through the love we leave behind

We live on through all that binds
