[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
What's this life for? What's this life for?
What's this life for? What's this life for?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
What's this life for? What's this life for?
What's this life for? What's this life for?

[Outro]
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Because we all live under the reign
Of one king
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Because we all live under the reign
Of just as you know of one king, one king, one king
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Because we all live under the reign
Of just as you know of one king, one king, one king
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Because we all live under the reign
Of one king
