I
Have you ever tried giving birth?
To a world? To a Universe?

Have you ever tried to shed your skin?
To quench the emptiness within?

Have you ever tried to split a mountain?
With your head spewing dreams like a fountain?

Have you ever tried to honor your word?
No matter how much it would hurt?

Chorus
Such is love, such is lust, such is life!
Now you know what it means to be alive.

Such is love, such is lust, such is life!
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and fly!

II
Have you ever tried loving your foe?
Even if he’d wronged you before?

Have you ever watched flowers grow?
Have you ever screamed like a crow?

Have you ever wished for another life?
Have you ever wished for an end to this strife?

Have you ever considered the end?
When things are so broken, there’s nothing to mend?

Bridge
Have you ever considered a fall
That would usher in the end of it all?

Chorus
Such is love, such is lust, such is life!
Now you know what it means to be alive.

Such is love, such is lust, such is life!
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and fly…
