lyrics

lyrics by Ethan Nickerson
music by The Mines

Is this what it means, to be thankful?
Is this what it means to let go?
Is this what it means, to be grateful?
Is this what it means to have soul?

To be sanctified, through your holy life,
And finally find my role.
Is this what it means, to be living?
Is this what it means to be whole?

Oh, sunlight, where I am is where I am,
I couldn’t ask for much more.
‘Cause something ain’t right, with who I am, but who I am
Is being reborn.

Is this how it feels, to be waking?
Is this what it’s like to take hold?
Is this paradise, in the making?
Is this what it’s like to find gold?

And no dark of night, and no pain of death,
Can ever make me old.
Is this how feels, to touch heaven?
Is this what it’s like to unfold?

Chorus

Is this what it means, to be living?
Is this what it means to have soul?

Chorus

Oh the peace can sure fight, it carries on and carries on,
It never dies or gets worn.
My home is in sight, but where I am, is where I am,
I think I’ll stay and explore.
