I have felt winter snow  Melting as it touches my skin  I have cried heartaches tears  As summer came shuffling in  I've run barefoot across moonlit sand  Found friendship where I thought they'd  never understand  Held a newborn baby in these hands  CHORUS:  And this is life these precious moments  And this is life these sad goodbyes  And this is life this roller coaster  These days of grace this surprise  And this is life  I have hoped, I have prayed  Wished upon a falling star  I have found secret strength  Hidden inside my heart  Oh I guess that this will always be  A winding journey to an end I cannot see  But here I am caught up in this mystery  CHORUS  And love has made me bluer than  The wildest morning sky  And love has lifted me until  I thought that I could fly  CHORUS 2X  And this is life  This is life  And this is life
