Rebuilding Lyrics

And then you closed your eyes

And relived your life

It's your turn at the playing board

To toss the dice

You saw the ones you loved

Who had gone before

In a white ball of light

You reached out to them all

The odd chance had come

The demolishing was done

Now your time had come

And the cleaning must be done

You built up these walls

They fall when Psi calls

And now it's time for rebuilding

And to stay in your house

It doesn't feel like home

It bears your life in the timetable

Where the future haunts

The keeping of it all

Seems of no use no more

And time will conquer you as well

So what's the working for

The odd chance did come

The demolishing had been done

But now your time had come

And the cleaning must be done

You built up these walls

They fell, but then Psi calls

To bring a time for rebuilding

And when you looked through the window

It got cold

It's time to look forward

And leave the dream alone

The day you started talking

To curve your life around

Was followed by the days

To reach out for new ground

And when I made our home

I reinvented my own life

The demolishing seemed bigger

And the odds did roam

I picked up my guitar again

The time has come

Time to write the words

To the name of this song

Well the odd chance did come

The building was all done

Then my time did come

And the living just had to be done

I built up these walls

But they crumbled then Psi called

I recognized my time for rebuilding
