(G. Lesage/C. Dannemiller)



I watched you begin, my child, See you fading in your fathers face.

For the first time Im in the mirror, looking both ways

At where Ive been and where Im headed

It makes me want to live each day like I may not get it.



Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and scars

Through all youve showed me so far

I see how precious you are, Dear Life.



I was bound to give away my heart and have it handed back to me

Until you led me to the one that was always meant to be

Idve never known joy if I never knew sorrow

When I didnt know how to face tomorrow



Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and scars

Through all youve showed me so far

I see how precious you are, Dear Life.



For once Im gonna rest in the arms of the unknown

And wait to watch you unfold



Dear Life, from my very first breath,

You were one step ahead

Of where I thought I was going

Dear Life,when I loved and I lost

Somehow at all cost

You kept me holdin on, for

Dear Life, through the healing and scars

Through all youve showed me so far

I see how precious you are, Dear Life.
