Life On the Line Lyrics by Michael Gleason

Children of Choices

0

One son born to see the good ship come in
The other one beggin' for the nightmare to end
Some get pleasure and some get pain
Some get a little of both while a doubt remains
Everybody wonders how the line gets drawn
Who'll be the children of fortune
As the world turns on?
Little by little, these stories unwind
One will be cruel and another will be kind
Some arе gonna do it, some are gonna die
Somе try to buy a little time and the well runs dry
Oh, some don't think, some think twice
Waiting on a verdict of virtue or vice
So much fruit on the vine
Hangs in the balance
Life on the line
Tasting the wine
Of sweetness or sorrow
Life on the line
A cold sweat gathers
When the moment is near
Each nerve woven in a fabric of fear
Every breath taken is an act of the will
And the scenes roll by
As a deepening chill comes on
Oh, who will be lost, who will be found
When the tale's been told
And the curtain comes down?
So much fruit on the vine
Hangs in the balance
Life on the line
Tasting the wine
Of sweetness or sorrow
Life on the line
Oh, some get pleasure and some get pain
Some get a little of both while a doubt remains
Yeah, some are gonna do it, some are gonna die
Some try to buy a little time and the well runs dry
So much fruit on the vine
Hangs in the balance
Life on the line
Tasting the wine
Of sweetness or sorrow
Life on the line
So much fruit on the vine
Hangs in the balance
Life on the line
Tasting the wine
Of sweetness or sorrow
Life on the line
Fruit on the vine
Hangs in the balance
Life on the line
Tasting the wine
Of sweetness or sorrow
Life on the line
