May 15, 1935 - May 23, 2008I BELIEVE IF I LIVED MY LIFE AGAIN

I believe if I lived my life again
I'd still be here with you
I believe if I lived my life again
I'd still be here with you

You know I think if lady luck was blind
That old sun would never shine
And I believe if death really held a knife
We'd all be beggars of life

Sometimes I wish that I could close my eyes
To some things I don't want to see
But I believe if you lived your life again
You'd still be here with me

I'll never see the ending of my mind
Everything will have a time
Why should I ask for things that I don't need
Or pretty lies to hide my greed

Goodbye, Utah - Thank you for everything you inspired and gave without fear or restraint. Your entire life is a lesson in bravery and doing things on one's own terms.

utah phillips, heroes
