This Is My Life

This is my life 
This is my life 
this is my time 
you show me the light 
and I go there. 

Give me the wine 
bitter and sweet 
and a little bit of bread 
that's all I need. 

No, I don't want the gold from Xanadu 
I think I leave it all to you 
this is my life and I don't care. 

This is my street, 
are you restless feet 
carry me on to anywhere. 

Take the fear 
take it away 
and give me some hope 
for one more day. 

I saw a ghost behind the door 
when the kids were coming home from the war 
with broken dreams and nothing more. 

I heard a woman singing her song 
and it was good and warm and strong 
She made me cry I don't know why. 

I don't want to bring you down 
I think it's good to be here 
this is my life and I don't care!
