How Many Lives Did You Touch?

This song was written by Jo after the death of her mother and a close friend. It’s reflecting on what we leave behind in other people’s memories and what kind of life and death we experience.

Lyrics

How many lives did you touch Do you think it’s been enough Did all of your dreams come true In the story of you Are you ready to let go To become another part of the whole Or are you still chasing time Trying to make the most of your life

When it comes to the end Would you want to start all over again Would you do it all the same Did you leave a good name Would you change any of your friends Do you need to make amends Did you think you had a fair go Did you plant good seeds to grow

How many lives did you touch I think that maybe it was enough Not all of your dreams came true In the history of you Were you finally ready to let go To become another part of the whole Or were you still fighting time Trying to make some more of your life

When it came to the end Did you want to start all over again Would you do it all the same I think you left a good name Would you change any of your friends Did you need to make amends I think you had a pretty fair go And you planted some good seeds to grow

Is it just chance or is it a game Is it just chance or is it fate Is it just luck or more of the same Is it just luck or do we have our say

How many lives have I touched I don’t think yet that it’s been enough Not all of my dreams have come true This song is not just about of you I’m not ready yet to let go To become another part of the whole I’m still here still chasing time Trying to make the most of my life

When it comes to the end I think I’ll want to start all over again I wouldn’t do it all the same Though I tried to leave a good name Yes, I’d change some of my friends But I’ve tried to make amends I haven’t yet had a fair go But I’m planting some good seeds to grow

Is it just chance or is it a game Is it just chance or is it fate Is it just luck or more of the same Is it just luck or do we have our say
