After All lyrics translation: DAR WILLIAMS After All song texte and letras DAR WILLIAMS After All tab, paroles and testo DAR WILLIAMS After All Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
Go ahead, push your luck
Find out how much love the world can hold
Once upon a time I had control
And reined my soul in tight
Well the whole truth
Is like the story of a wave unfurled
But I held the evil of the world
So I stopped the tide
Froze it up from inside
And it felt like a winter machine
That you go through and then
You catch your breath and winter starts again
And everyone else is spring bound
And when I chose to live
There was no joy, it`s just a line I crossed
It wasn`t worth the pain my death would cost
So I was not lost or found
And if I was to sleep
I knew my family had more truth to tell
And so I traveled down a whispering well
To know myself through them
Growing up, my mom had a room full of books
And hid away in there
Her father raging down a spiral stair
Till he found someone
Most days his son
And sometimes I think
My father, too, was a refugee
I know they tried to keep their pain from me
They could not see what it was for
But now I`m sleeping fine
Sometimes the truth is like a second chance
I am the daughter of a great romance
And they are the children of the war
Well the sun rose with so many colors
It nearly broke my heart
And worked me over like a work of art
And I was a part of all that
So go ahead, push your luck
Say what it is you`ve got to say to me
We will push on into that mystery
And it`ll push right back
And there are worse things than that
`Cause for every price
And every penance that I could think of
It`s better to have fallen in love
Than never to have fallen at all
`Cause when you live in a world
Well it gets in to who you thought you`d be
And now I laugh at how the world changed me
I think life chose me after all Send " After All" Ringtone to your Cell
