Lyrics
For The Love Of 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.
And slowly, you come to realize
It's all as it should be
You can only do so much
If you're game enough
You could place your trust in me
For the love of life
There's a trade off
We could lose it all
But we'll go down fighting
And what of the children?
Surely they can't be blamed for our mistakes?
And slowly I've come to realize
It's all as it should be
That hiding space
A lonely place
How can the right thing be so wrong?
I've found mistakes
Where they don't belong
For the love of life
We'll defeat this
They may tear us down
But we'll go down fighting
Won't we?
