lyrics
I can feel it in the darkness,
Getting closer in the night.
Like a sacred song,
You linger on,
You give me the wings of flight.
And I love your sense of power,
Every hour every need.
When the red light shows,
Your arms enclose,
Like the pillars of destiny.
With one step forward,
I know I can leave this behind.
Never look backward,
I want to move through space, through time.

I want to get to it,
Seek and you'll find.
Check the world - do it it's my life.
There's a star shines over you and I.
It's my life.
I'm just keeping my soul alive.

There's talk of revolution,
There's no solution to our plight.
A red guitar can get you,
But you still know how to fight.
They say all roads come together,
Every shoulder to the wheel.
Solid gold future unfolds,
When you give me the hands that heal.

I'm looking out, and I call your name,
I go running in a circle,
But I can't get back again.
And I'm calling I need you here,
My whole life took a tumble,
And I'm so filled up with fear.
My life feels like a runaway train,
I'm leading through a tunnel and I can't get back again.

It's my life,
Keeping my soul alive.
