are you full of love
are you full of fear
is your world of sun
are your days of drear
do you lie like a rock
or dance as a child
do your thoughts never change
or are they always new and wild
can you take the first step
or fall back asleep
in the grey early morn
so you are born
ahhhhhhh

are you full of sway
and light on your feet
or stiff from belief
do you break with defeat
do you close your eyes
when the light is bright
and close your eyes
in the darkness of night
and fall back asleep
find peace until the end
in the grey early morn
so you are born
again

la la la . . .

are you rich with dreams
do they give you laughs of gold
has hope lost it's appeal
as it mounts your well built scaffold
can you feel the winds
of hope's final breath
can you see it as a chance
to take a test of death
can you roll your eyes with a grin
and then maybe you'll smile
or have you convinced yourself
that love is not your style
again

Love the rich tones and depth in your voice, and your song!

Love your rolling finger-picking guitar, too.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Michael!
