Lyrics
AA 09 Be Glad of Life 110bpm 3/3/2 Intro: Csus4 Fmaj9/A Csus4Dm7GAm7Am7Dm7GEm FAm G Am D9Am D9Am GEm FFmaj7 Be glad of life For it is life that let's you work and play Not just a way for you to pass the day No whiling away time with a bright new toy But gaining meaning through the strife and joy Be glad of life For it is life and life alone that lets you love Raises you hopes and lifts you high above To the place where emotion soars And the surge of your being roars F G AmF GEm Am C GD7C GEm FFmaj7Fmaj7 But for life it’s an empty void The face of a barren asteroid Until life sets its growing seed The means to fulfill your every need Be glad of life It lets you look up to the stars Sets you free and breaks the iron bars Draws you forward to all you can be Face it all with equanimity There is nothing without life Silent water on an endless sea Frozen matter to infinity Cold and deadly as a knife There is nothing without life ?
