This Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I believe in the common man
Working hard with the dirt on his hands
He knows that he can't understand it all
And I believe in our darkest hour
You will find that there is a power
I believe in the faith that makes us one
But some days, I can't find my own way
Not sure where to go
Now I just need to know
(Oh oh)
Tell me what we're living this life for
(Oh oh)
We can't go on not knowing anymore
(Oh oh)
Just standing here in front of this open door
(Oh oh)
So tell me what we're living this life for
Living this life for
Living this life for
I believe in eternity
Long after we live and breathe
I believe that the best is yet to come
I know in our darkest hour
You will find that there is a power
I believe in a faith that makes us one
But some days, we just go our own ways
All under the gun, what have we become
(Oh oh)
Tell me what we're living this life for
(Oh oh)
We can't go on not knowing anymore
(Oh oh)
Just standing here in front of this open door
(Oh oh)
So tell me what we're living this life for
What are we living this life for
(Oh oh oh oh)
To be given this time enough
(Oh oh oh oh)
What are we living this life for
(Oh oh oh oh)
When I sleep, I can feel the heart beat
Of each and every one, staring at the sun
Even though that some days
I can't find my own way
Just to come and then, I'll never understand
(Oh oh)
Tell me what we're living this life for
(Oh oh)
We can't go on not knowing anymore
(Oh oh)
Just standing here in front of this open door
(Oh oh)
So tell me what we're living this life for
What are we living this life for
(Oh oh oh oh)
To be given this time enough
(Oh oh oh oh)
What are we living this life for
(Oh oh oh oh)
Don't you think that it's time we know
Don't you think that it's time we know
