Just To Be Alive

The mist across the lake
In pink and blue and gray
The sunset giving way to the first stars of the evening
Drifting peacefully
Grateful just to be alive

The beauty of this place
The moonlight on your face
The magnitude of space is blowing my mind
Happy you're with me and
Grateful just to be alive
Just to be alive, alive
I'm so grateful, just to be alive

The stillness of the slough
The gentle wake of our canoe

The sonnet of the loon
Is almost other worldly
Floating aimlessly
Grateful just to be alive
Just to be alive, alive
Yes I'm grateful, just to be alive

The world outside is beckoning
We'll ignore the call
As we hide away in this healing bay
Least until the fall
Oh, oh , ahhh, oh
Yeah
