about

Based on the movie 'It's A Wonderful Life', this song draws parrallels in todays world, and is an anthem for what it takes in the face of tragedy and loss. 'And God's giving visions when men leap from bridges, and angels get wings..."

lyrics

You were having second thoughts on life, so you ran into the night
You were caught but you did not steal, so you just turned out the light

You were always looking after
somebody else's "ever after"

It's a wonderful life - and how can that be?
When your heart has been hurt, you're down in the dirt and they've just trimmed the tree?
It's a wonderful life - and how is that clear? When they say that you owe everything that you own, and it's that time of year

You had doubted different things before, but now you're really torn
Maybe everyone is better off, if you never had been born?

You were always looking after
somebody else's "ever after"

It's a wonderful life - and how is that real? When some live in castles and some live and die, in Potter's Field.
It's a wonderful life - and how can that be?
When your heart has been hurt, you're down in the dirt and they've just trimmed the tree?

God Send - send down help for my friend
Heaven help - Heaven help my friend

It's a wonderful life - can you hear the bells ring? And God's giving visions when men leap from bridges and Angels get wings...

It's a wonderful life...

She, having grown up on 50's rockabilly and country icons like Loretta Lynn, taught Richard the guitar at an early age. But it was upon his discovery of the Beatles that made Richard obsess over music, learning guitar, bass, piano & drums and writing boxes full of songs. ... more
