What is the meaning of life as we know it?
And, who is the teacher and who is the child?
When there are no road signs that point our direction,
Sometimes it seems like the whole world is running wild
Oh, how I wish you were with us tonight
Wed raise up our glasses, and bid you a fond goodbye
Oh, if I could just see your face at my door,
One more, one more time.
We live in a world of free will and volition
We're turning our eyes to some power above
We murmur the words of an act of contrition
Knowing so many weve lost and weve loved.
And oh, how I wish they were with us tonight
Wed raise up our glasses, and bid them a fond goodbye
Oh, if I could just see your face at my door,
One more, one more time.
Oh, and everything we ever thought might be endless or bound less
Lie scattered around us in ruins
We wonder why
Buried there among the pages,
The prophets and sages have bound to the ages
The book of our lives
Oh, how I wish you were with us tonight...
Oh, if I could just see your face at my door,
One more, one more time.
