David Deacon - Arc of Life
текст песни

Do we need forgiveness
Do we need applause
Do we need some faint hope
Life had a greater cause
It’s the arc of life
And it’s ours alone
It’s the only thing we write
That’s almost writ in stone

For all of us who at the end
Walk softly to our sleep
There’s a forgetful sound
The part we couldn’t keep
It lingers in a room
It wanders down a hall
Staying with everyone still there
Leaving something after all
Leaving something after all

Did we share some kindness
Did we make mistakes
Did we take a road
That then became our fate
It’s the arc of life
A bright or darkened star
It’s our mark on life
What’s done is what we are
What’s done is what we are

For all of us who at the end
Walk softly to our sleep
There’s a forgetful sound
The part we couldn’t keep
It lingers in a room
It wanders down a hall
Staying with everyone still there
Leaving something after all

It’s the arc of life, leaving something after all
It’s the arc of life, leaving something after all
