This Is It

Written 1986

Verse 1:
Joy doesn't wait
a thousand miles away
it is here every step you tread
the distance I create
'though why I couldn't say
why not feel happiness instead

Refrain:
this is it
life isn't waiting down the road
here is where new life begins
this is it
why should life be a heavy load
through your soul's eyes everybody wins

Verse 2:
religions are just
a way of remembering
truths which we already know
it's still up to us
like flowers in the spring
to move and stretch and grow

Refrain.

Joy doesn't wait
a thousand miles away
it is here every step you tread
