This World Alone

From the moment we're born, we scream into the light

We spend our lives trying to do what's right

Trying to thank the Lord for what we receive

Trying to make a friend when it's time to leave

Some make money and just don't care

Who they have to burn on the long way there

They buy their way through, but you and I know

You can't take it with you when it's time to go

We come in and out of this world alone

Before and after is the great unknown

From our very first breath to the journey home

We come in and out of this world alone

Reincarnation might help us feel

There are other ways 'round this eternal deal

The good book says we only get one shot

You either land in heaven or your ass gets hot

We come in and out of this world alone

Before and after is the great unknown

From our very first breath to the journey home

We come in and out of this world alone

We come in and out of this world alone, yeah

Well, some live rough on struggle street

No coat for the cold and have little to eat

Some, they got billions and a thousand friends

But we all dance alone when the music ends

We come in and out of this world alone

Before and after is the great unknown

From our very first breath to our journey home

We come in and out of this world alone

We come in and out of this world alone

We come in and out of this world alone
