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.
So stand the fuck up
Show me that this life is worth living
Oh, take this day and call it your own
This is your chance to redeem yourself
In a world where every single day counts
The clock strikes twelve and I'm still in bed
Staring at the ceiling
Will I ever amount to anything?
The inevitability of life
And the calamities of this world
Fuck
I will never know
I will never know
I will never know
Ah
Is there a purpose in this life to be fulfilled?
Is there a way to make sense of a life that will one day end?
Will anything I do be remembered?
Will these words live to be read by the eyes of a new generation?
By the eyes of a new generation
By the eyes of a new generation
I will be there for, for you I will be there
Pick your-fucking-self up and realise that one day you will be a memory
Ah, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Dust to dust
So stand the fuck up
Show me that this life is worth living
Oh, take this day and call it your own
This is your chance to redeem yourself
This is your chance to redeem yourself
I will never know
I will never know
Uh
