Lyrics
another life-(richard handwerk)
johnny is a sane man living in a town
where everyone knows each other by name
people come, & people go
each day passing exactly the same
it’s a easy life, yea, but it’s good
sarah gets up at the crack of dawn
she wipes the dream out from her eyes
cooking breakfast in the kitchen
for husband, & kids, she’s a real good wife
but in her head, she’s somewhere else
in another life-in another life
life would be good in another life
in another time-you would be mine
in another time you would be mine
soldier signs up, goes off to war
doing all he can for liberty
longing for the girl he left behind
dies so others might be free
believing in a higher cause
father goes home, a knock at the door
there’s a man of the cloth with a tragedy
offers a prayer, & a shoulder to cry on
preaching ‘bout virtue, & ‘the mystery’
but in the end, what was it for?
in another life-in another life
life would be good in another life
in another time-you would be mine
in another time you would be mine
