I told them all the ones i love I'm leaving and i may not return See lately i've been overcome A feeling i fear has just begun The pain i feel deep inside That haunts us all that we will die Never really knowing how it feels To be alive Through mountains and over seas Through misery and disease A spectator i played my part But nothing could move this heart Until i held the boys hand The little one spoke like a man He showed me death and said This is how you know you're alive A kingfisher in flight You'll rise above the sea of doubts Into a world full of clouds Alive
