This is my life
this is my time
just 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 declare it’s good to be here
this is my life
and I don’t care
