We're caalled to live as if...
As if it matters that we live
As if it matters when we love
As if it matters when we offer something beautiful, stand against some ugliness, endure the days of emptiness. We can live as if we?re loved...

Lyrics
Live As If
See my list of all the reasons to quit
Not good enough, smart enough, inferior fit
And all the voices saying
?Why don?t you just step aside?
?How dare you dare to reach so high?
They?re asking for my suicide
Always one hand open, the other a fist
Guess I?ll have to live as if
See me tearing up my list
See my beloved and me in a bitter rift
Trying to remember why this love is such a gift
I want to fly away
And find me something easier
I don?t feel much in love right now
What did I ever see in her
What do we hold on to while we search for what we missed
I guess we?ll have to live as if
I think we?re called to live as if
As if it matters that we live
As if it matters when we love
As if it matters when we
offer something beautiful
stand against some ugliness
endure the days of emptiness
We can live as if we?re loved
Absurdity, anomaly, a sand that always shifts
All the evidence says life is meaningless
I?ve tried to face reality
To live my life the way life is
So now I?ve seen reality
But I?m not sure how real it is
I?m left with this bit of foolishness
I prefer to live as if
I will try to live as if
