TO LIVE A DAY

(tune:

I Won't Live A Day Without You)~~

To care for all I seek to know what history Has ca'led for me, to bring to be.

The Mystery Consumes my vision constantly Yet finally, no end I see.

When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you.

For All in All I strive to serve with miracles Which freedom gives, for men to live.

Though passion dies And loneliness is never filled Creation cries, compassion give.

Chorus:

Burdened with All

I am a man who suffers so

Beloved still, a sign that calls,

For others who With ceaseless love for this whole world Would bend their will, to care for all.

Chorus: (repeat twice)
