Land of the Living
~by Susan Herndon
who knows all the ways of the world?and who can know all the ways of a girl?see the earth and sky just keep on givingjust as long as we stand in the land of the livinglight the candle, blow away all the dusttake your time, pass the wine, and pour yourself a cuplook in the book of life, there are no misgivingsjust as long as you stand in the land of the living*** the land of the living keeps calling us backwhen the world is torn apartloved ones we've lost and what we thinkwe might lackare all found deep in our heartso if i'm lost, i just remember these old wordsthe best is yet to come, and we're as free as the birdsand we'll find a way with love and thanksgivingjust as long as we stand in the land of the livingjust as long as we stand in the land of the livingjust as long as we stand in the land of the living
