(Intro - Atmospheric Crescendo) (Guitars with heavy delay swell over an organ pad) (Verse 1) I’m digging back through the layers of time To the hills of my youth that I used to climb I see the faces in a sepia glow The seeds of the life that I managed to sow I see the table where we broke the bread Echoes of words that my father once said I’m capturing light in a bottle of glass Watching the shadows of decades pass. (Chorus) And I’m alive again, in every spark! I’m tracing the lines right through the dark! Every laugh that we shared, every tear that we cried Is a river of gold that I’m keeping inside I want to feel the sun, I want to feel the rain I’m thankful for the joy, I’m thankful for the pain! (Verse 2) The scent of the sea on a Sunday afternoon The way that the stars sang a midsummer tune Moments shared when the world was so small I’m holding them now, I’m keeping them all I’m living the day like it’s never gonna end With the heart of a child and the hand of a friend. (Bridge with falsetto) I’ll give it all away, just to feel it once more! To stand on the edge of that wide-open shore! I’m grateful for the breath, I’m grateful for the light! Everything’s burning, everything’s bright! (Chorus) And I’m alive again, in every spark! I’m tracing the lines right through the dark! Every laugh that we shared, every tear that we cried Is a river of gold that I’m keeping inside I want to feel the sun, I want to feel the rain I’m thankful for the joy, I’m thankful for the pain! (Outro) Captured in my mind... Every moment, every time. I’m thankful. (The streets of my soul).
