Words and music by Dan Collins
Produced by Dan Collins

lyrics

when the day is done
when the well is dry
when the tide is turning against you
give living a try

though the night is long
see the mountains cry
and all of nature is mourning your weakness
give living a try

what mysteries we wonder
and look for answers in the sky
have thought, take a breath, speak a word into the void and
give living a try

Watch the rivers boil
hear the poets lie
see the forest turning to ashes
give living a try

Should the healing end
and the gods deny
gather rubble, build up a temple
give living a try

what mysteries we wonder
and look for answers in the sky
have thought, take a breath, speak a word into the void and
give living a try

the end has come
you’ve had your time
cry hope learn and learn from the darkness
give living a try

what mysteries we wonder
and look for answers in the sky
have thought, take a breath, speak a word into the void
have thought, take a breath, speak a word into the void
have thought, take a breath, speak a word into the void and
give living a try
