Lyrics
Oh, What a 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.
There was snow, there was snow
Stretched for miles and more
Where we buried, where we buried
Our souls
Oh, I long, oh, I long
For them days left and gone
Where we sang and where we danced to a brighter song
But now I look upon a field with bodies
Stretched out and I feel nothing
But something's burning in my soul I let it
Lose control and I'm in, oh, God I've sinned
But I tried so hard, and we tried so hard
And it's a long long road, that you told me so
Yeah, I tried so hard, to forget where we are
And all we do is laugh and we sing
And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
But I tried so hard, but we killed our hearts
In valleys low, I hear the trumpets blow
Yeah, I tried so hard, yet I'm lost and scarred
And I'm filled with regret yet I sing
And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, oh, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
And we laughed, and we cried and thought
Oh, what a life
