BY LIVING I WILL SEE

BY LIVING I WILL SEE

 

AN EVENING COOL AND DESOLATE

WHILE I LIE AWAKE IN BED

CONSIDERING LIFE FOR ME

 

I PONDER, LONG AND WEARILY

ON JUST WHAT LIES AHEAD

BY LIVING I WILL SEE

 

THE PAST IS PAIN AND LONELINESS

AND WRONG THINGS I HAVE SAID

BUT I KNOW THERE’S MORE TO BE

 

THE FUTURE’S DISTANT HOPEFULNESS

NOT PAIN BUT LOVE INSTEAD

BY LIVING I WILL SEE
