LINE OF DECISION

Words and music: Paul Michael

[From "Crystal and Lamont," TLD#2, Side B]

Verse One:
I re(A)member the sound of the crashing car,
Then a (Bm)ringing in my ears,
Then I (D)felt I was floating,
Looking back down on my (A)body from the (E)air.
I (A)watched as they tried to save my life
As the (Bm)ground around turned red,
(D)'Til at last they shook their heads,
(A)Saying I was (E)dead.

Verse Two:
But I (A)felt such a perfect peace and comfort,
(Bm)Such a warmth,
(D)Painless and relaxed,
But a (A)little lonely at (E)first.
Then (A)all of a sudden I felt I was moving
(Bm)Rapidly through the air
Through a (D)long, dark, narrow tunnel--
The valley of the (A)shadow of death, I was (E)there.

Chorus One:
Headed for the (D)line of de(A)cision,
(Bm)Was I ready to (F#m)die?
(Bm)Was I satis(E)fied what I'd done with my (A)life?

Verse Three:
At the (A)end of the tunnel there was a light
That was (Bm)very dim at first,
But it (D)grew so bright and brilliant,
But my (A)eyes it didn't (E)hurt.
(A)When I met the Being of Light,
Nothing (Bm)was said that could be heard,
And I (D)felt such a compassion and love,
But (A)in my mind rang these (E)words,

Chorus Two:
"You're standing on the (D)line of de(A)cision,
(Bm)Are you ready to (F#m)die,
(Bm)And are you satis(F#m)fied what you've done with
Your (E)life?"

[Repeat Chorus One]

Bridge:
(E)And as I stood there, before I could re(Bm)ply,
(E)I watched my whole life unfold before my (Bm)eyes,
And (D)now you know the choice that I (A)made,
To come back down to (E)Earth and (D)start a(A)gain.

Chorus Three:
Standing on the (D)line of de(A)cision,
(Bm)Was I ready to (F#m)die?
(Bm)Was I satis(F#m)fied what I'd done with my (E)life?

[Repeat Chorus Three]

(A)
