Forever
Mïrändä Lyrics

There's a city
c man on third street
Heavy eyes, and baggy clothes
He walks alone at night
The wind is bitter cold
That's all the man on third street knows

Past the barrooms and the ballrooms
In the newly-fallen snow
He fumbles with his keys cnd he hears the people sing
c melody he heard once, long ago:

Isn't this a life that's worth the living?
Isn't love a passion worth the loss?
Isn't happiness the many-splendored right of man?
Won't tonight forever carry on?

By the window sits the widow
Of a god too far away
cnd sometimes, late at night
She forgets to pray
But did he listen anyway?

Or in the trenches never-ending
Of one battle in a war
c fight for liberty
Or for one man's vanity
There's something there that's worth the dying for -

But

Isn't this a life that's worth the living?
Isn't love a passion worth the loss?
Isn't happiness the many-splendored right of man?
Won't tonight forever carry on?

Can one touch, one moment last for always?
Tear a person's gaze down from the stars?
There's one heart that beats for all humanity
cnd breaks for one child crying in the dark

Then the door shuts out the music
cnd the city and the snow
There, in a silent night
Under a fluorescent light
He turns a page; the book comes falling closed
