Life
Mбire Brennan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My life understands
The silence from within
My heart will demand
Keep me near You
My love in Your hands
What a joy it can be

Iosa, Dé (Jesus, God)

Who walks to the edge
Feeling tired sometimes cold
Who opens the page
Of a lifetime
Who crosses the bridge
What a wonder it can be

Iosa, Dé (Jesus, God)

If time will embrace
And tomorrow clears the air
If once we could face
Crossing over




If winning this race
What a blessing it can be
