“Take all life has to give for time takes the alternative.”
Still It Feeds Me
She is all that has been
Touched by the sun
She is all the shadows
Long to be
And when she looks my way
And smiles
Drops from barrels
Inches from miles
She shares the light of the sun
With me
She scares the shadows of life
From me
And in her light I bask
Though unsuited for the task
Like the moon,
Reflecting is all I will be…
Still it feeds me
Still it feeds me
She is all that has ever been
She is all that will ever be
The then and the never
The now, the forever
The future…is it for me?
So few sure
But when she looks my way
And smiles
Drops from barrels
Inches from miles
She shares all that was and will ever be
She shares it with the world
She shares what's left with me
And in her light I bask
Though unsuited for the task
Like the moon,
Reflecting is all I will be…
Still it feeds me
Still it feeds me
Lighter than light
But it weighs heavy on my soul
The stress and toll of life
To stress and toil through life
When living is the goal
Still it feeds me
Still it feeds me
She gives me strength so I can
Gives me knowledge so I know
Gives me will so I do
Gives me power so I go
Gives me gifts so I give
Gives me light so I live
And in her light I bask
Though unsuited for the task
Like the moon,
Reflecting is all I will ever be
Still it feeds me
Still it feeds me
