Lyrics Bruce Cockburn

Bruce Cockburn

Life Will Open

Waves can't break without rocks that dissolve into sand

We can't dance without seasons upon which to stand

Eden is a state of rhythm like the sea

Is a timeless change

Turn your eyes to the world where we all sit and dream

Busy dreaming ourselves and each other into being

Dreaming is a state of death, can't you see?

We must live through who we are

If we can sing with the wind song

Chant with thunder

Play upon the lightning

Melodies of wonder

Into wonder life will open

We are children of the river we have named 'existence'

Undercurrent and surface pass in the same tense

Nothing is confined except what's in your mind

Every footstep must be true

If we can sing with the wind song

Chant with thunder

Play upon the lightning

Melodies of wonder

Into wonder life will open
