Keeps Me Alive Lyrics

Within me turns the motor of life

As time passes, the gears rust with strife

The seasons spin faster, my energy wanes

This old engine sputters as spirit remains

But your love is the fuel that keeps me alive

Your dreams give me strength to survive

When my heartbeat slows and this motor won't start

My soul will seek out your heart

The hourglass empties, my limbs growing tired

This mortal frame aching as warmth expires

The sunset awaits every woman and man

So I treasure each moment while still I can

But your love is the fuel that keeps me alive

Your dreams give me strength to survive

When my heartbeat slows and this motor won't start

My soul will seek out your heart

Though my body may wither, my soul still soars

Through your love I'm airborne, flying towards

Landscapes of wonder, where maps cannot trace

Your light guides the way at my journey's end

But your love is the fuel that keeps me alive

Your dreams give me strength to survive

When my heartbeat slows and this motor won't start

My soul will seek out your heart
