I'Ve Seen
I've seen life, the beautiful and magnificent
Spectacular magic, yeah I've witnessed it
I've felt joy, excitement and splendor
Laughed until I've cried, yep I've been there
I've seen life, the uneventful and calm
Mundane routine, I've sung that song
I've felt peace, had comfort, a home base
Protection, nope, couldn't complain I was safe
I've seen life, the endearing and compassionate
Euphoric bliss, it was, well... Fantastic
I've felt love, comforting and unconditional
Forgiving and hopeful, the best of them all
I've seen life, the fight and struggle
Stress, anger, all things I've had to juggle
Felt determined, stayed strong till it was over
Fought through it, I endured like a warrior
I've seen life, the soul shattering, devastating
The tear filled, yea my heart was hurting
Felt broken, helpless, hopeless, defeated
Desperate and pained, I've been beaten
I've seen life, the come back, redemption
Fought back, I've overcame, did I mention
I've felt triumph, victory a moment or two
Smiled again, after all I've been through
I've seen death. The end
The last one to see
Final moments and everlasting memories
I've been caught off guard
I've seen it coming
It didn't make a difference
With all I've seen, with all I've done
I'll let you know who won
I've seen life and all it can bring
Still it's the champ, it wins the ring
In all its filth, in all its glory
I'll always choose to continue the story
