From the recording "AFFECTIONSHIPS"
Lyrics
EVERY DAY I LIVE IN YOUR EMBRACE, I FEEL YOUR CARE AND GRACE, NO WAY I CAN ESCAPE THE TRUTH THAT I AM BOUND BY YOUR LAWS, THEY'RE ALL AROUND. YET INSIDE MY MIND I'M FREE TO EXPLORE THE WORLD IN ME, A VASTLY OPEN SPACE, NOT BOUND BY TIME OR SPACE, I GLIMPSE THE GIFT OF LIFE, TO HOLD WITH ALL MY MIGHT.
EVERY NIGHT THE STARS PROVIDE THE LIGHT, THE SUN WE CANNOT SEE, IT'S WAITING PATIENTLY.
EVERY DAY I WAKE WITH OPEN EYES, I SEE THE SPACIOUS SKIES, I KNOW THAT I'M ALIVE AND SO THE DAY BEGINS. THE CONSTANT EBB AND FLOW OF LIFE IT LETS ME KNOW ONE DAY IT HAS TO END, THE WAY THAT IT BEGAN, WITH FAITH IN THE UNSEEN, WITH HOPE AND WAKEFUL DREAMS. I STRIVE FOR WHAT IT MEANS.
EVERY NIGHT THE STARS PROVIDE THE LIGHT, THE SUN WE CANNOT SEE IT'S WAITING PATIENTLY UNTIL THE TIME WHEN LIFE NEEDS IT TO SHINE AND BRING THE WARMTH WITHIN, AND SO THE DAY BEGINS.
EVERY DAY I THINK AND I PERCEIVE, HAVE FAITH AND I BELIEVE WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE. I KNOW I CAN'T REPAY THE VALUE OF EACH DAY, TO STAND UP AND TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND FOR RIGHT, TO LIVE UP TO MY NAME, TO STRIVE WITH MIGHT AND MAIN. I GLIMPSE THE GIFT OF LIVE TO HOLD WITH ALL MY MIGHT.
EVERY NIGHT THE STARS PROVIDE THE LIGHT, THE SUN WE CANNOT SEE, IT'S WAITING PATIENTLY, UNTIL THE TIME WHEN LIFE NEEDS IT TO SHINE AND BRING THE WARMTH WITHIN, AND SO THE DAY BEGINS...
