Suddenly Now

Every single morning is a victory
Every time the sun comes up I feel I win
To be anywhere is a good place to be
As good as any so let this day begin
The rest of my life all of a sudden now
And let it be as great as fate will allow

I came late to the table I realize
With the time left to me not what it once was
The great clock of the universe is running
But adventure still beckons in every size
As to the end things spin out from the first cause

The view from anywhere is still as stunning
As ever it was this morning because of
All of the things which have always made it so
Things felt more than seen like hope and faith and love
As if questions the answers to which I know

I only get this one chance in the world here
So I might as well enjoy it after all
After half a lifetime of living in fear
It might just be time for some dragons to fall
So let me be as great as fate will allow
As the rest of my life comes suddenly now
