I Love My Life

(album: Nearly Human - 1989)

Every day I hear the news
Seems like people worship pain
All your oprahs and donahues
They just can't explain

As you reap you shall sow
I looked high I looked low
Now I know that I love my life
I love my life

I said me and my creator
We got a funny love thing
It's happening now and not later
Yeah, that's why I sing

First came thought then came deed
I got caught now I'm freed
All I need is to love my life
I love my life

Time, the topic of the sermon tonight is time
Time, the thief of hope
Time, the ameliorator of all our endeavors

What will we do with time off our backs?
We would make this world a perfect place
We would make our lives a perfect thing, if not for time
But I tell you now, time is an illusion
Time is an illusion, time is not real
Time is the dividing line between what is true and what is not true
Between what is real and what is not real
Between what is so and what is not so
But who, I said who, who stands for time?
Who stands at the threshold of time?
Who decides what is true and what is not true?
We do, you and I
You and I decide what is true and what is not true
What shall be our guiding light?
Happiness, I say happiness
But in a world, I see people in a world of misery
I see a world full of sorrow
Why should we be happy?
Tell me why should we be happy?
We need a message from above
Look over there, look over here
I can see it, there is beauty in the world
