I wish I knew a blessing

For a time like right now

I know you're in pain, but you'll figure it out

I did it to be simple

And not over profound

Just a poem to remind you to put that weight down

Put that weight down

Well tonight, yes tonight

We've got nothing up but time

So lets keep this fire burnin'

Until that sun comes around

Well tonight, oh tonight

Let no water flow under bridges

Light a chalice of forgiveness

For the ones that we burn down

Cause it's a long road

And we've got to lighten our load

And figure out, how

To put it all down

And listen to the sound of what's happening now

And sing

(Chorus)

While we livе, let us live

While wе live, let us live, yeah

So when we die, we can die

With a sparkle in our eye

No way for us to say, that we never didn't try

To forget and forgive

While we live, let us live

(Verse)

Today, oh today

We need nothing up to say

Clouds are shattered by sun rays

Already wheels turning again, because

I see a golden ripple

Energy double and triple

Patiently waiting for ship to come in

Riding waves back to where they begin

And times are rough, it's gunna get too long

Be mindful of all the shit we carry round

How, to put it all down

Listen to the sound of what's happenin' now

And sing

(Chorus)

While we live, let us live

While we live, let us live, yeah

So when we die, we can die

With a sparkle in our eye

No way for us to say, that we never didn't try

To forget and forgive

While we live, let us live

(Interlude)

I wish I knew a blessing

For a time like right now

I know you're in pain, but you'll figure it out

I did it to be simple

And not over profound

Just a poem to remind you to put that weight down

Put that weight down
