The Man Is Alive |
The night sometimes seems dangerous |
We wonder what it hides |
It sometimes brings us closer |
And forever changes our lives |
Strangers talk in open ways |
We cannot always understand |
Who have not felt the loving touch |
And seen the guiding hand |
I was brought up near the riverside |
In a quiet Irish town |
An eighteen-month-old baby |
The night they laid my daddy down |
Everyone knew everyone |
And everybody else as well |
My home was filled with sorrow then |
Too much for me to tell |
The man is alive |
Alive and breathing |
It’s taken me so long to see |
The man is alive |
Alive and breathing |
The man is alive in me |
We stood among the totem poles |
Under the Canadian moonlight |
She told me all about her childhood days |
On the Vancouver mountain side |
An eighteen-month-old baby |
The night her daddy passed away |
We stood and watched the darkness |
Flowing into the light of day |
The night sometimes seems dangerous |
We wonder what it hides |
It sometimes brings us closer |
And forever changes our lives |
Strangers talk in open ways |
We cannot always understand |
But we begin to feel the loving touch |
And see the guiding hand |
The man is alive |
Alive and breathing |
It’s taken me so long to see |
The man is alive |
Alive and breathing |
The man is alive in me |
