Book Of Life Lyrics - Conway Deborah

CHORUS: 

Blow the horn, blow the horn 

Give a voice to all the mournful souls 

Who search to be reborn tonight 

Forgiveness like the sharpest knife 

Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life 

I've been hungry since before the dawn 

(END OF CHORUS) 

Everybody's empty but it's not for food 

And everybody's praying here to be rescued 

Examining our sins it is hard not to conclude 

We're screwed 

The world's in flames 

These maddened days of black and white 

No shades of grey to keep at bay the darkest night 

There's never been a song that could save a life 

Aha. 

(CHORUS) 

Tired and full of un-cried tears I still can't shed 

Stored up with the unsaid things we never said 

You wanted forgiveness 

I wasn't ready yet 

Now you're dead 

To all the souls who lost themselves I sing for you 

Apart from that there's nothing more that I can do 

And though I know it's useless 

It kind of helps me through 

Mm hmm 

(CHORUS) 

I want to see my children out in the world 

Grown into women from little girls 

Why wouldn't you want that too? 

The older you get the more friends you lose 

Next year I won't disappear in fire or flood 

Next year I'll still be here to do some good 

I won't be taken by pills or thrills or wine 

I should be doing fine 

(CHORUS) 

# I've been hungry since before the dawn... #
