Life

(album: Take Me High - 1973)

From the day a man is born
'Til the day he dies
He holds all life's mysteries
Deep within his eyes

Deep within his eyes, it's showing
Deep within his blood, it's flowing
Deep within his heart, it's growing
Like the wind forever blowing

Deep within his wisdom turning
Deep within his senses burning
Deep within his hunger yearning
Deep within his soul

Life, oh life, the wild side and the tame
Life, oh life, the pleasures and the pain
Life, oh life, our glory, our defeat
Life, oh life, the bitter and the sweet

Life, oh life, the wild side and the tame
Life, oh life, the pleasures and the pain
Life, oh life, our glory, our defeat
Life, oh life, the bitter and the sweet

All the tears and all the joys
All the truths and lies
Mirrored in the innocence
Of a young girl's eyes

Lost within her secret tower
Swiftly changing by the hour
Until it blossoms like a flower
With its gift of mystic power

Deep within her wisdom turning
Deep within her senses burning
Deep within her hunger yearning
Deep within her soul

Life, oh life, the wild side and the tame
Life, oh life, the pleasures and the pain
Life, oh life, our glory, our defeat
Life, oh life, the bitter and the sweet
Life
