The Rest Of My Life

(Verse 1)

At night’s
When I feel closer to God
Wonder if life’s real
Or is it just a façade
Will my time be spent with purpose?
That goes deeper than the surface
Will I waste it all away because
I spent my time searching?
When it’s all said and done
Will I feel that it was worth it?
If my dreams never come
And I just spent my time working
Hoping, reaching and wishing
For some grandiose scheme
Pardon my premonition
Trying to get up out my dreams
In all reality
That keeps me going
Adds reason to the reason I’m breathing
And now I’m knowing
I wasn’t put here for nothing
I got a story to tell, see
Vision I can sell to the blind
‘Til they brail me
And God-willing, if my feet never fail me
I’ll get to do it all
Before all the sand falls
I’m just trying to make the best
Of my life
And tonight’s got me thinking
‘Bout to rest of me life

(Chorus)

All I want to do is fly away with you, tonight
But until that time, here’s to the rest of my life

(Verse 2)

At night’s
When I feel closer to love
For a little while
It seemed like I always was snubbed
As if it didn’t exist
Then I found you
It makes me so happy
Just to be around you
I pray this is the start of something
That just might last for a lifetime
But even if it don’t
Just know you gave me hope
In a place I thought was broken
Locked up in chains
‘Cuz I always left it open
Susceptible to the pain
And all of the games
I’m no longer trying to play
Once I find the right one
Forever I'll stay
Wherever my heart lies
No more of the lies
Heartaches from soul ties
I thought would be my demise
I just got so much to love to give
To someone who’ll accept
And return it unconditionally
Without rejection
To have and to hold
And to rest with at night
Someone with whom
I could spend the rest of my life

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

The future belongs to those
Who believe in the beauty of their dreams
Tonight, everything is what it seems
As it’s seen thru my eyes
Stars shine on this beautiful night
As I bask in the beauty of life
With a beauty that’s right
Next to me
Such a beautiful sight
Kiss her face under bright city lights
Maybe one day
She’ll become my beautiful wife
We’d make some beautiful kids
In a beautiful crib
Who’ll show me just what beautiful is
When I look into their eyes
See, my heart is where beautiful lives
Even in my darkest hours
I harken all the power
That’s been placed inside me
For the places I’ll be
Sure
Night and day
To embrace and understand it
To take what I was handed
And never take it for granted
And thank God for all my blessings in life
Here’s to the first night
Of the rest of my life
