Rhythm moving moments remembering soft

Sweet tongues in sweet wood rhythm

It’s good to be alive

*

Shifting sound breathes flesh to flesh

Memory deep in glistening time

It’s good to be alive

*

The curling bend of a guitar note

Glistens a tear to my eye

It’s good to be alive

*

Your voice calling across the nighttime sky

To me crying standing up again

It’s good to be alive

*

Come tomorrow’s daylight rising

I’m my father’s son I am always

It’s good to be alive

*
