More Life - H, Don Henley

He stares into the mirror

At the shell of a man he once was

At the hard evidence

Of what living for a dollar one day does

He thinks about the things he’s gonna change

As soon as he gets back up to speed

Then the nurse comes in with something for the pain

And says «Is there anything more you need?»

He says «Yeah»

More life

More time

More faith

And the presence of mind to breath deeper

Love stronger

Stay the moment, one moment longer

Less anger

Less worries

Born alive

He says

I’ve been a mover and a shaker, buddy

Second to none

With the will of steel

Like a closing deal

You bet your life I got it done

Lately I think about the ones I might have hurt

And how easily I’ve easen in their way

What did I think it all was worth

Cause there’s nothing I would not trade

For

More life

More time

More faith

And a presence of mind to deep breathe deeper

Love stronger

Stay in the moment, one moment longer

Less anger

Less worry

(Bridge)

There is a woman who has loved me faithfully

And children I can’t believe are grown

God knows why only now I see

They are the one true happiness I know

Breathe deeper

Love stronger

Stay in the moment, one moment longer

More love

More light

More light
