The time has come
For us to see if you'll take me once again
But darlin', I'll be back
I'll be reborn
I know I will always want to be your friend
This life was like climbing
So glad I put the time in
I've got so used to lovin' you
In this life, you so blessed me
Why would I want to get free?
I've been so happy lovin' you
I've lived too long, lost so much time
I must accept I might be finally dying, yeah
What will survive is my consciousness
It's what I guess
And when I'm alive again, you'll be my happiness
Yes, yes, yes
Next life, I will be climbing again
So glad I put the time in, and then
I'll remember how I once loved only you
In this life, you so blessed me
I would want that again, you see
To be happy again by lovin' you
I was young, rigged guitar
Afro hair and big car
No more big star
Just be happy and go hard
Not too far, not much now
Love your voice, it's time to go far
Because I'm watching you
Tonight is for viewing tunes
We had to ask for that
Get passion, ask for that
(False woman)
Security, head kick
Because I need you here, but you doubted me
Then I found my dignity with you
This life was like climbing
I'm so glad I put the time in
I got so used to lovin' you
In this life, you so blessed me
Why would I want to get free?
I've been so happy lovin' you
Do you believe in life after this?
What science decries as only a myth
We hang onto dreams like beacons from some ancient days
Then we get on and live out our life
Till we're looking right into the light
We only know for sure when we're lost in the haze
The time has come for us to see
If you'll take me once again
But darlin', I'll be back
I'll be reborn
And I know I will always want to be your friend
I always want to be your friend
