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.
Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they've known just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Cause we all live
Under the reign, I said you know, of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Cause we all live
Under the reign, I said you know, of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king
