The storms of life will pass away   As I walk beside my Holy of Holies   The northern lights that held my gaze   Were heaven in those hellish days   And once I longed to taste them all      God help them   When they find out   That's what life is all about      The words have died upon our lips   The winds have blown disaster upon us   All my life I've braved these thorns   And weathered out the blackest storms   But once I long to taste them all      God help them   When they find out   That's what life is all about      And God help us   When we find out   That's what love is all about      Since that day, you're all I've prayed for   We're bought and paid for   But it's cost us both more
