Was This a Life
Was this a life
Would you call this a dream worth fighting for
Did the moments that made up the years
Paint a canvas worthy of the wall
A picture larger than the frame
Every color standing proud for all time
Was this a life
Was this a life
Could it have been something more
Will second guesses help to learn a lesson
Or do they only make imaginary doors
Locked without a key
An endless maze to explore without a sign
Was this a life
But don't be fooled by the words you've heard today
That reveal old wounds question the life choices made
There's been so many roads to navigate
I'm so grateful life turned out this way
The love that I found
The family that you and I made
I'm so grateful that we found our place
I'm so grateful for all of my friends
Who through the long years
You gave me hope gave me laughter and faith
I'm so grateful for the part that you played
Even though life has moved us away
Was this a life
That my children will pass on to their own
Will the stories that they'll tell someday
Match my fondest memories of our home
Or will they teach me something new
When we gather round in that future room
Was this a life
So many questions that haunt the mind
Did things go my way did I do it right
There's a magic that comes from putting it all aside
I'm so grateful life turned out this way
The love that I found
The family that you and I made
I'm so grateful that we fell in love that day
I'm so grateful for my son and my daughter
I can't wait to see the woman and the man
That you'll become someday
I'm so proud that both of you turned out so kind and brave
All these things give me the reason that I can say
This is a wonderful life
A wonderful life
This is a wonderful life
A wonderful life
This is a wonderful life
Would you call this a dream worth fighting for
Did the moments that made up the years
Paint a canvas worthy of the wall
A picture larger than the frame
Every color standing proud for all time
Was this a life
Was this a life
Could it have been something more
Will second guesses help to learn a lesson
Or do they only make imaginary doors
Locked without a key
An endless maze to explore without a sign
Was this a life
But don't be fooled by the words you've heard today
That reveal old wounds question the life choices made
There's been so many roads to navigate
I'm so grateful life turned out this way
The love that I found
The family that you and I made
I'm so grateful that we found our place
I'm so grateful for all of my friends
Who through the long years
You gave me hope gave me laughter and faith
I'm so grateful for the part that you played
Even though life has moved us away
Was this a life
That my children will pass on to their own
Will the stories that they'll tell someday
Match my fondest memories of our home
Or will they teach me something new
When we gather round in that future room

So many questions that haunt the mind
Did things go my way did I do it right
There's a magic that comes from putting it all aside
I'm so grateful life turned out this way
The love that I found
The family that you and I made
I'm so grateful that we fell in love that day
I'm so grateful for my son and my daughter
I can't wait to see the woman and the man
That you'll become someday
I'm so proud that both of you turned out so kind and brave
All these things give me the reason that I can say
This is a wonderful life
A wonderful life
This is a wonderful life
A wonderful life
This is a wonderful life
