Story Behind The Song

A musician friend had attempted suicide and was institutionalized. I didn't know how to help her, so while I was writing a letter to a friend (that I never sent) these lyrics came to me that I later set to music.

Song Description

This song celebrates life and is filled with spirit. It tells of a new world awaiting, shaped by grace. It encourages us to live our dreams, now.

Lyrics

Come on, let's celebrate
Let's discover the joy again
That comes from being alive
Seeing the sun
And from having a friend

And let's collaborate
Let's uncover our souls again
Let's find the you that is you
The me that is me
A joy that never ends

And let's investigate
Let's explore the good life ahead
There's so much to see
To know and to be
Room for both you and me

Why do we hesitate?
All we need is a little faith
All our needs will be filled
Our fears will be stilled
If only we believe

Chorus:

Life is a very precious gift
It's a miracle of creation
And you, you've been made specially
None can take your place
There is only one you

Come now, let's congregate
Let us join the whole human race
And live the lives we've been given
And know we're all driven
By many different winds

Yes, friend, there is a place
For each and everyone a space
To live life fully, you know,
Be nourished and grow
Ever so wonderfully, ever so lovingly

Let's not procrastinate
The world must now be faced
It's our time to arise
Be fruitful and wise
Do what we're born to do

Yes, a whole new world awaits
One shaped by true grace
What we've lost we'll find
If we just read the signs
Give our dreams wings to fly

Come and enunciate
It's never too late
To start again
For it's not the end
But rather a new beginning
Chorus:

Life is a very precious gift
It's a miracle of creation
And you, you've been made specially
None can take your place
There is only one you

Life is precious
It is given to you
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
So live it, and live it and love it
The best that you can

For life is precious
It is precious
All life is precious!
