watching the surf cover up my toes
breathing the salt air from the coast
ten years old with my eyes pressed closed
life is a church
remembering first love's tender kiss
mourning the loss of my innocence
the bittersweet taste of it on my lips
life is a church
these are the sacraments
this is the altar
love is the spirit
making the blue planet turn
life is a church
watching my baby being born
written all over you, pain and joy
holding your hand, it's a little boy
life is a church
these are the sacraments
this is the altar
love is the spirit
making the blue planet turn
life is a church
ashes to ashes, earth to earth
the preacher throws in the first handful of dirt
my little boy asks me, "Does goodby always hurt?"
life is a church
these are the sacraments
this is the altar
love is the spirit
making the blue planet turn
life is a church
life is a church
