Sudden Life

Floating in the clouds
Giving up the fight
A voice is calling out
I'm walking into the light

We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast
Feet they barely even touched the ground
We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world
The fury and the sunlight

I saw it flicker like a television set
Bright flashes of a warning sign
Flipping channels in a world gone static
Eroding away line by the fading line

Underwater for years we found
So much harder to swim than drown
The current takes us
Now we're walking into the light

Are you dying all your life?
Broken, beaten and tired out
You want to live but don't know how
Diagnosis: sudden life
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light

Woke up floating on a wave of golden sound
Tunnel vision and a great beyond
Heart beating like a rhythm slowing down 'til it's gone
An acho of a song
Flat line and a closing bell
Whisper a warm farewell
The flames are beckoning
As we're walking into the light

Are you dying all your life?
Broken, beaten, tired out
You want to live but don't know how
Diagnosis: sudden life
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light

Don't suppose that you know the way?
Don't suppose that your care?
I see lights up ahead and hear choirs of angels
Ring in my ears
But you know that had you a choice
You would go back do it again
We all have unfinished business to tend

So, no, I won't go gentle
Into that good night
You can keep your candle
I'm walking away from the light
Yeah, I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light

Diagnosis: sudden life
I woke up my heart racing, I'm
At a loss explaining why
Are you dying all your life?
Then put your darkest days behind
Let life flash right before your eyes
And for the very first time
It feels like I'm walking away from the light
