HYMN SONG (Bruce "Utah" Phillips)
cho: I believe if I lived my life again I'd still be here with you I believe if I lived my life again I'd still be here with you
You know I think if Lady Luck was blind That old sun would never shine You know I think if Death really held a knife We'd all be beggars of life
Sometimes I wish that I could close my eyes To some things I don't want to see But I believe if you lived your life again You'd still be here with me
I'll never see the ending of my mind Everything will have a time Why should I ask for things that I don't need Or pretty lies to hide my greed

This is in the Digital Tradition as I BELIEVE IF I LIVED MY LIFE AGAIN. The lyrics I found in Rise Up Singing are slightly different, most notably in the line about Death holding a knife.
