lyrics

Come here son, now they’re all gone
Can I tell you the things I’ve done
I need to share my life you see
Don’t let these memories die with me

On mountains I have climbed and stood
The isolation felt so good
The trees were still, no birds to sing
Such silence is a special thing

I’d do it all again if I could
It’s over now, but life was good

Early morning I would rise
I’d watch the eagles fill the skies
Endless trees and glassy lakes
I miss the sound that silence makes

I’d do it all again if I could
It’s over now, but life was good

So lift your head son, spread your wings son
Go fill your eyes with amazing things
I would join you if I could
Because, I tell you, life is good

In love I tried, I laughed and cried
I let my heart be my guide
I still think of her now and then
And my heart fills with life again

So lift your head son, spread your wings son
Go fill your eyes with amazing things
I would join you if I could
Because, I tell you, life is good
