Shock of Life

we think we know what we desire
yet still inside there burns a fire
we know we think we think we know
breathing in and out as though

all of life is ours to take
a morning mist on mountain lake
a soaring eagle in the sky
the shock of life, a baby's cry

the roar of water crashing down
canyons deep right through this town
between the sea and mountains high
we think we know the truth from lie

yet still inside there burns a fire
our passions rage as each desire
grabs and takes us on a ride
with power so strong just like the tide

breathing in and out as though
we're controlled by winds which blow
like a leaf torn from a tree
we're blown along until we're free

all of life is ours to take
a morning mist on mountain lake
a soaring eagle in the sky
the shock of life, a baby's cry
