Mirah's "While We Have The Sun"

Let's take the time to walk together while we have the sun You never know when temperamental weather's gonna come And if you want to face the death you're never that far from Just take a breath and sing to it when all the day is done

So sorry about all the sorrow in your life you'll know It's true that all the ones you love will someday have to go And everytime you say goodbye you'll hear the trumpets blow A serenade to the soul, all surrounded by the glow

If you feel all broken 'cause i left you there too soon Just know that it's not up to you to make the flowers wilt or bloom And if you think you're lonely then just listen for the tune Of all the stars i left for you in the chest of the moon

If you want to shake whatever separates you from The holiness you want to make your life on earth become Live your life with a compassion you can be proud of Then let your last breath fade away with dignity and love

Let's take the time to walk together while we have the sun You never know when temperamental weather's gonna come And if you want to face the death you're never that far from Just take a breath and sing to it when all the day is done

Iris DeMent's "Let The Mystery Be" Everybody is wondering what and where They all came from Everybody is worrying about where they're going to go When the whole thing's done But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Some say once gone you're gone forever And some say you're going to come back Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour If in sinful ways you lack Some say that they're coming back in a garden Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Everybody is wondering what and where They all came from Everybody is worrying about where they're going to go When the whole thing's done But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Some say they're going to a place called Glory And I ain't saying it ain't a fact But I've heard that I'm on the road to Purgatory And I don't like the sound of that I believe in love and I live my life accordingly But I choose to let the mystery be.
