Text: Simple Minds. Good News from the Next World. My Life.

I can feel it in the darkness
Getting closer in the night
Like a sacred song you linger on
You give me the wings of flight

And I love your sense of power
Every hour, every need
When the red light shows
Your arms enclose
Like the pillars of destiny

One step forward
I know I can leave this behind
Never look backward
I want to move through space, through time

I want to get to it, seek and you'll find
Check the world do, it it's my life
There's a star shines over you and I
It's my life, I'm just keeping my soul alive

There's talk of revolution
There's no solution to our plight
A red guitar can get you far
But you still know how to fight

They say all roads come together
Every shoulder to the wheel
Solid gold future unfolds
You give me the hands that heal

One step forward
I know I can leave this behind
Never look backward
I want to move through space, through time

I want to get to it, seek and you'll find
Check the world do, it it's my life
There's a star shines over you and I
It's my life and I'm keeping my soul alive

And I'm looking out
And I call your name
I go running in a circle
But I can't get back again

And I'm calling out
I need you here
My whole life took a tumble
And I'm so filled up with fear

My life feels like a runaway train
I'm leading through a tunnel
And I can't get back again

It's my life
Looking through the moonlit night
Keep my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive

It's my life
Gonna keep on through the moonlit night
I just keep my soul alive
I just keep my soul alive, It's my life

Keeping my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive
Keeping my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive
Keeping my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive
