Oh Life (There Must Be More)

Written by David Pack, Alan Parsons


Waves roll out

Out to sea

Tasting the saltwater

Tears upon her cheek


Morning breaks

She's not there

Who could ever find her?

Who would even care?


No one heard

No one came

No angel of mercy

Appears to know her name


Where is hope

When words fail

All the colours running

Inside when life turns pale


In the dock the boats are harboured

Where the water's cold and still

Oh life, she cries, I've lost the will


From the bridge she sees a lifetime

Being washed upon the shore

Oh life, she cries

There must be more...


Tides roll in

Waters rise

Any chance of reason

Only clouds her eyes


Arms of grace

She won't feel

All the wounds inside her

That time can never heal


The city lights shine seaward

Swirling in a trance

Her eyes upon the water

Alone in her last dance


From the docks the boats are leaving

As she cries into the dawn

"Oh life, I'm barely holding on"


And she sees her future falling

Til it finds the ocean floor

Oh life, she cries

There must be more


There must be more


And with the early light

She'll sail into the clear

The winds are all behind her

The hour's almost here


From the bridge she hears the voices

Turn into a roar

Oh life she cries

There must be more


On the dock her soul is sinking

But her spirit longs to soar

Oh life, she cries

There must be more


There must be more

There must be more

Oh life I'm barely holding on


There must be more

There must be more

Oh life there must be something more
