"More Life" lyrics

"More Life"
(feat. Don Henley)

He stares into the mirror
At the shell of a man he once was
At the hard evidence
Of what living for a dollar one day does
He thinks about the things he's gonna change
As soon as he gets back up to speed
Then the nurse comes in with something for the pain
And says "Is there anything more you need?"

He says "Yeah"
More life
More time
More faith
And the presence of mind to breath deeper
Love stronger
Stay the moment, one moment longer
Less anger
Less worries
Born alive

He says
I've been a mover and a shaker,buddy
Second to none
With the will of steel
Like a closing deal
You bet your life I got it done
Lately I think about the ones I might have hurt
And how easily I've easen in their way
What did I think it all was worth
Cause there's nothing I would not trade

For
More life
More time
More faith
And a presence of mind to deep breathe deeper
Love stronger
Stay in the moment,one moment longer
Less anger
Less worry

There is a woman who has loved me faithfully
And children I can't believe are grown
God knows why only now I see
They are the one true happiness I know

Breathe deeper
Love stronger
Stay in the moment, one moment longer
More love
More light
More light
