As Long As I Live


I hope to dance in a wide open field And spin around waiting for the rain to fall; No wish for an umbrella as a shield; Waiting for my lover's enchanted call. I hope to perform In a coffee shop, And hit every note that makes your soul swell. Singing only with meaning, without stop; Hoping the song from my heart finds you well. I hope to be free as long as I live; With no regret, just faith and submission. Not to waste the life into which He gives, Without fame of my own recognition. Before I die, I pray to God I live; Using every moment to love and give.
