Danny Speicher - This is Life

I used to wander always wondering
What this life was for and what it would bring
Never knowing and too often hurting
Not yet seeing for whom I was searching

Every day was a mystery looking
For the girl I knew my heart was pining
And, just when I thought the dream was fading
She came in my life, sending me reeling

And, finally I know about true love
Each step I take, in happiness and strife
Has a purpose and joy along the way
And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life'

Now I've met her every day brings singing
And every night brings this endless dreaming
Of life together and church bells ringing
A life of love sets my heart to spinning

Yes, finally I know about true love
Each step I take, in happiness and strive
Has a purpose and joy along the way
And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life'

So, fairy tales are real for those wishing
For knights with burnished armor, bright shining
Or maidens in distress needing saving
Happily ever-afters are waiting

Though the knights may look different in this world
And maidens may be hurt from years of lies
Never stop pursuing dreams of true love
When you find it, it's worth a million tries

Yes, finally I know about true love
Each step I take, in happiness and strive
Has a purpose and joy along the way
And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life'
