Music and lyrics by Michael Been
This is your life
This is your world
Beginning to end
This is the price of heaven, our hope
This is the time
This is your life
The push and the pull
We give and we take
We rise and we fall
We bend ’till we break
The future is ours
The promise is true
This is your life
I’ve seen it before
I’ve seen many times
An impossible task cut down to size
We stand in the breach
We fight at the front
This is your life
This is your life
This is your world
Beginning to end
This is the price of heaven, our hope
This is the time
This is your life
We’ve all grown up together
It’s a shame we grow apart
A world without end
A stroll through the fire
The journey depends
On the length of the wire
We’re rarely at ease
The pressure is high
This is your life
So it begins
We reach for the stars
Lift up your voice
Freedom is ours
The spirit’s alive
Oh what a ride
This is your life
This is your life
This is your world
Beginning to end
This is the price of heaven, our hope
This is the time
This is your life
This is your life
This is your world
The struggle begins
This is the price of living your hope
This is your chance
This is your life
(From the album Red Moon, 1990 MCA Records)
