lyrics

I walk the woods on a winters day
while troubled thoughts bubble away
with worries of what others say
with wishes to change yesterday
and I am barely here

(chorus)
I wanna know
just what is this living soul
what is the part, what is the whole?
I wanna feel
just what is really real
is there more than death can steal?

the glory of life's majesty is revealed in a hawthorn tree
to heal the hurt, to set it free
to feel the love from you to me
the touch of simple care

to revel in the Living Earth is to know the agony of birth
through the blood and pain and hurt
the suffering that it is worth
the price of Life is fair

I wanna know
just what is this living soul
what is the part, what is the whole?
I wanna feel
just what is really real
is there more than death can steal?

I don't know what else I can say
I cannot relive yesterday
I can't go back or turn away
and I wouldn't want to anyway
I do belong here

to have a body is to die
to live at all is to wonder why
to seek the sun beyond the sky
to see the Truth beyond the lie
to transcend the fear

I wanna know
just what is this living soul
what is the part, what is the whole?
I wanna feel
just what is really real
is there more than death can steal?
