More To This Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Today I watched in silence
As people passed me by
And I strained to see if
There was something hidden
In their eyes
But they all looked back
At me as if to say,
"Life just goes on"
The old familiar story,
Told in different ways
Make the most of your own journey
From the cradle to the grave
Dream your dreams tomorrow
Because today life must go
But there's more to this life
Than livin' and dyin',
More than just tryin'
To make it through the day
More to this life,
More than these eyes alone can see,
And there's more than this
Life alone can be
Tonight he lies in silence
Staring into space
And looks for ways to make
Tomorrow better than today
But in the morning light
It looks the same
Life just goes on
He takes care of his family,
He takes care of his work
And every Sunday morning
He takes his place at the church
And somehow he still feels
A need to search
But life just goes on
So where do we start
To find every part
Of what makes this life complete
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we'll find
Life's true beginning is there
At the cross where He died,
He died to bring us
More to this life
Than livin' and dyin',
More than just tryin'
To make it through the day
More to this life,
More than these eyes alone can see,
And there's more than this
Life alone can be
