lyrics
Taste of Life
Verse 1:
Oh, isn't it a worn out city
Where tired sighs and petty lies and bitter vines grow
A people of broken memories
We turn aside, desensitized, smother the child inside
Pre-Chorus:
What's so golden about silence
Why should songs of hope be hidden
Chorus:
Come awake and feel alive again
The things that matter
Free the child inside to love again
The taste of life
Verse 2:
Acquainted with the ordinary
A nine to five, don't recognize who you are anymore
Surrendered to the secondary
Yet on this earth, your life is worth more than you know
Pre-Chorus:
We all need a stress reliever
Be unashamed to share your flavor
Chorus:
Come awake and feel alive again
The things that matter
Free the child inside to love again
The taste of life
Wide awake
Bring to life again
The dreams that matter
