This Grand Table

I say yes
A million times
Down from the grave
Up to saving grace
I won't back down
I won't die young
My time on earth
Has just begun

Hear me now
I raise my state
To know no bounds
To know no fate
Sing it loud
And then repeat
At this grand table
I take my seat

To taste and feel
To dance in love
My time on earth
Has just begun

Oh countless ways
I go wandering back
Into the grave
By fearful ways
And though you call
I turn it off
Cuz time is strong
And love is soft

But death is counting
The choice is mine
Ring the alarm
Or keep on, keep on
Will I enter more
Or close the door
The rising sun
Has just begun

I say yes
A million times
To raise my eyes
And meet the sky
Sing it loud
And then repeat
At this grand table
I take my seat

To be with you
To taste this food
To hear the sound
Of gratitude

To be in body
This time on earth
To fall and fumble
And then return
