Just To Be Alive

The mist across the lake
 In pink and blue and gray
 The sunset giving way to the first stars of the evening
 Drifting peacefully
 Grateful just to be alive
 The beauty of this place
 The moonlight on your face
 The magnitude of space is blowing my mind
 Happy you're with me and
 Grateful just to be alive
 Just to be alive, alive
 I'm so grateful, just to be alive
 The stillness of the slough
 The gentle wake of our canoe
 The sonnet of the loon
 Is almost other worldly
 Floating aimlessly
 Grateful just to be alive
 Just to be alive, alive
 Yes I'm grateful, just to be alive
 The world outside is beckoning
 We'll ignore the call
 As we hide away in this healing bay
 Least until the fall
 Oh, oh, ahhh, oh
 Yeah
