BEAUTIFUL LIFE
(Matthew Johnson)

I don't understand how it got curtailed
And you found me standing
Dumb from visions
Cut throat
In what I feel is like a fairy tale
Did this happen?
Am I living at all again?
No-one knows, and I'm rummaging for ways to comprehend

Now when despairing that nothing could save my mind
I find that one belief
In the beauty of this life
I see it coming
Scarred eyes coming alight
Welcome me back to the sun-surrounded life

Away from the fires, torn dress shirts and bullet wounds
You might catch me dancing
Someone must have
Said that
I needed to be near you
Foxes running
Let me take to the sky again
And let myself take hold these wings
That stretch across this life's lens

Now when despairing that nothing could save my mind
I find that one belief
In the beauty of this life
I see it coming
Scarred eyes coming alight
Welcome me back to the sun surrounding.

I believe it all
Because you mean it all to me

If all I need
Is just one thing to believe
The difference between just surviving and bleeding for the peace
Let me help you save the world

If all we have
Is just one world to belong
No heaven, hell, or anything but the earth we're living on.
We see it coming
It's gonna be all right.
We'll come back to life.
