Elements of Life
© Jim Molinelli
[Chorus]
The world is like a river that flows into the seas.
And as we move downstream we gather memories.
The thing I understood, in the twinkling of an eye,
Is that "Time, Love, and Friendship" are the elements of life!
[Verse 1]
Sitting in this chemo chair, with an IV in my arm,
The thing I ask of God, is that I come to no harm.
I'd like a few more years, so I have a little time,
To be with friends and family, before that final chime.
I hope to linger here, that threshold still uncrossed,
"Time" is Life’s fleeting essence – Without Time all is lost!
[Chorus]
The world is like a river that flows into the seas.
And as we move downstream we gather memories.
The thing I understood, in the twinkling of an eye,
Is that "Time, Love, and Friendship" are the elements of life!
[Verse 2]
A call was made, a text was sent, no return for either.
And an awkward silence settles over both of you at dinner.
In a charged situation, you reach out, forgive, engage.
Or retreat and hide in fear, and risk a Love that slips away.
Two in love is awesome, an amazing thing to share,
"Love" is Life’s greatest feeling – And without Love, who cares?
[Chorus]
The world is like a river that flows into the seas.
And as we move downstream we gather memories.
The thing I understood, in the twinkling of an eye,
Is that "Time, Love, and Friendship" are the elements of life!
[solo]
[Verse 3]
I hate what happens to us all, in this digital divide
On any single point, we may be on different sides.
If you ask for help, do I turn away, based on that condition?
Do I value people’s hearts, or their political position?
If being left makes you right, will our friendship shatter?
"Friendship" is Life’s most valued gift – without Friendship nothing matters!
[Chorus]
The world is like a river that flows into the seas.
And as we move downstream we gather memories.
The thing I understood, in the twinkling of an eye,
Is that "Time, Love, and Friendship" are the elements of life!
