I’ve been doing a lot of thinking
About growing older and moving on Nobody wants to be told that they’re getting on Andf maybe going away
For a long, long stay
But just how long and who knows
And how and where my spirit will go Will it soar like Jazz on a saxophone
Or evaporate on a breeze
Won’t you tell me please
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
Here on earth I’m a lost soul
Ever trying to find my way back home
Maybe that’s why each new star is born
Expanding heaven’s room
Eternity in bloom
And will I see you up in that heaven
In all it’s light will I know you’re there
Will we say the things that we never dared
If wishing makes it so Won’t you let me know
That life is eternal
And love is immortal
And death is only a horizon
Life is eternal
As we move into the light
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight
Save the limit of our sight
My daughter and all the others I have lost will meet me at the light someday. I just have to find a way to go out without her. That is the most difficult part.
I have often been asked in magazine and electronic media interviews, "What is your favorite song?" My answer has been the same for 15 years: "Life is Eternal," by Carly Simon. One listen will tell you why. Neale Donald WalschauthorConversations with God
