David Phelps - Life Is A Church lyrics

Watching the surf cover up my toes Breathing the salt air from the coast Ten years old with my eyes pressed closed Life is a church Remembering first love's tender kiss Mourning the loss of my innocence The bittersweet taste of it on my lips Life is a church These are the sacraments This is the altar Love is the spirit Making the blue planet turn Life is a church Chorus Watching my baby being born Written all over you, pain and joy Holding your hand, it's a little boy Chorus Ashes to ashes, earth to earth The preacher throws in the first handful of dirt My little boy asks me, "Does goodbye always hurt?" Chorus
