In This Life

Fireflies hold back the dying day
 It's a valiant effort
 Stars start to dance up in the haze
 And the shy moon is on the run
 Through the night till morning comes
 Dressed in silken flames of glory
 This life is a canvas on fire
 Burn bright, live your deepest desire
 For the time here on this side of Heaven
 Will fly like sparks in the night
 This life is a gift from the one
 Who gives life to every daughter and son
 Take the time here on this side of Heaven
 To find the road that goes on beyond this life
 We don't have time for bad goodbyes
 Make a valiant effort
 To see everyone through Heaven's eyes
 Every heart has a load to bear
 On the way to where our cares
 Melt into the weight of glory
 This life is a canvas on fire
 Burn bright, live your deepest desire
 For the time here on this side of Heaven
 Will fly like sparks in the night
 So work like you're worth more than money
 And love like you've never been hurt
 And dance like you do when no one is watching you
 This life is a canvas on fire
 Burn bright, live your deepest desire
 For the time here on this side of Heaven
 Will fly like sparks in the night
 Fireflies hold back the dying day
