Just To Be Alive

The mist across the lake

In pink and blue and gray

The sunset giving way to the first stars of the evening

Drifting peacefully

Grateful just to be aliveThe beauty of this place

The moonlight on your face

The magnitude of space is blowing my mind

Happy you're with me and

Grateful just to be alive

Just to be alive, alive

I'm so grateful, just to be aliveThe stillness of the slough

The gentle wake of our canoe

The sonnet of the loon

Is almost other worldly

Floating aimlessly

Grateful just to be alive

Just to be alive, alive

Yes I'm grateful, just to be aliveThe world outside is beckoning

We'll ignore the call

As we hide away in this healing bay

Least until the fall

Oh, oh , ahhh, oh

Yeah
