Whose Life

Jimmy went to battle
He was fighting for his country
Now he wakes up every morning
Rubs the murder from his eyes
He found the devil in the jungle
And hoped God was on his side
He's a survivor now
And he's still asking why
He says
Whose life has fallen to the ground?
Whose life's still screaming with a silent sound?
Whose life is it anyhow?
Grandma's lying in a room
Gentle darkness all around her
Is she reaching out to heaven now
Or just clinging to the past?
She's got a suitcase full of photographs
And they help her to remember
So many friends are gone
Now the light is fading fast
And she says
Whose life goes on living when it's done?
Whose life is waiting here for kingdom come?
Whose life is it anyhow?
Susie wasn't careful
Now she's carrying a baby
How's she gonna tell her daddy
Who will help her make that call?
It could be over in a day
It could be a lifetime
There is an easy answer
If she'd only look inside -- that's all
She says
Whose life will be given or be gone?
Whose life will have the winning numbers drawn?
Whose life is it anyhow?

I've been floating down this river
Farther than I've been before
I never dreamed that I could sail here
Ever leave that shore
Know what love is for
You and I have found each other
Of all the things I've come to know
It took the longest to discover
How to let it flow
How to let love grow
And it goes on
And fills the ocean
It goes on across the sea
And it finds its way
To every far off stranger
And comes back to me
Like a mystery
So many ships out on the water
Set their sails so cautiously
All alone through stormy weather
When all they ever need
Is a tender breeze
So shine the stars at night to guide me
And send the sun to warm my day
I'll read this map of dreams inside me
And I'll trust that way
Never fades away
'Cause it goes on
And fills the ocean
It goes on across the sea
‘Til it finds its way
To every far off stranger
And comes back to me
It's your face I see
As I'm floating down this stream
