Life Like

Life-like, a place to live and clothes to wear
Life-like, starting here and ending there
Life-like, maximizing time and space
Life-like, a happy smile upon my face

All this and so much more
Light floods the open door
Blood's rushing to my head
I'm standing on the edge of

Life-like, crawling up out of the slime
Life-like, standing in the check out line
Life-like, eyeing all the pretty girls
Life-like, dreaming of another world

Where are my friends today?
What games shall we play?
In their hearts I can't see
Nothing looks back at me but
Life-Iike life

A million souls await the call to rise and sing
They stand and fall while in the clouds
The angels count the myriad things
Divinity and grace have etched like lines face of God
But here it's very odd
His miracles abound but they are
Drowned in the sound of tapping fingers
Life-like
Life-like
Life-like

Life-like, a face for every double take
Life-like, the genuine, original fake
Life-like, in the lies you tell to me
Life-like, a reasonable facsimile

Open your hand to me
In your palm I can read
Long life and happiness
It's just like all the rest
It's life-like life

In the morning I walk beneath a shining sun
My steps reverberate in beat with the mothers of humanity
Those murmurs fill my ears, but the voice of God I never hear
As I walk along that busy street
And though there's nothing left to seek
The streaks of the tears upon my cheeks are life-like
Life-like
Life-like
Life-like
Oh, life-like
Oh, life-like
Oh, life-like
Oh, life-like
