Signs of Life - Steven Curtis Chapman

Come in base I’ve landed my ship on a planet here in space

This is the one they say is inhabited by the human race

And I’m going out to look around and see what’s here

And I’ll tell you what I find

Confirmation on the inhabitants they’re running everywhere

And their technology is beyond what I’ve seen anywhere

But I’m trying to communicate and they don’t hear me

It seems like for all I’m finding

I can’t find the most important thing

Where are the signs, where are the signs of life

The love that proves there is a beating heart inside

Where are the signs, where are the signs of life

The compassion and concern that makes this world turn

Where are the signs of life

Now, I’ve got crayons rolling around in the floorboard of my car

Bicycles all over my driveway, bats and balls all over my yard

And there’s a plastic man from outer space sitting in my chair

The signs of life are everywhere

But I’ve got questions rolling around in the corners of my mind

If it’s true I live in a world where hope has all but died

And if I really have a living love alive in me

How am I letting it be known, how am I letting it be seen

These are the signs, these are the signs of life

The love that proves there is a living faith inside

These are the signs, these are the signs of life

The compassion and concern that makes this world turn

These are the signs of life

These are the signs, these are the signs of life

The love that proves there is a living faith inside

These are the signs, these are the signs of life

The compassion and concern

That’s gonna make this world keep turning

These are the signs of life

A love that’s flowing from the heart

Where the grace of God has left its mark

These are the signs of life

The reaching out of a servant’s hand

The giving that makes no demands

These are the signs of life

This is loving proof of the faith inside

These are the signs of life
