Lyrics

[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
[Verse 2]
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
[Verse 5]
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
'Cause we all live under the reign
Of one King
[Verse 6]
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
I said, you know, of a one King
One King, one King
[Verse 7]
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
I said you know of a one King
One King, one King
[Verse 8]
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
Of one King
