meaning of life
Intro
You know, every now and then we get the chance to slow down for a moment, put our busy schedule aside, and take time to reflect upon a certain question that´s been around since the beginning of time: what´s the meaning of life? Hmm...
1st Verse
Life, so beautiful, don´t you agree?
But at the same time, how could this be?
An answer to that is somethin´ that we can´t find
But we have tried through the history of mankind
to come up with theories to explain life
We don´t view the world with the same eyes
But the same question marks has always been there
Where do we come from? Why are we here?
How should we live? What´s the best recipe?
Who´s in control of our destiny?
Is there a God? A heaven and a hell?
Do we have a soul? Is the body just a shell?
Scientists and believers still arguein´
But nothin´ is certain, so it´s hard to win
No-one has all the answers right now
Life overwhelms us like: "WOW!"
Hook x2 We´re born, grow up, work, reproduce,
retire, grow old, die, what´s the use?
Some spend their entire lives searchin´ for clues
What´s the meaning of life?
2nd Verse
There´s somethin´ special ´bout our lives, for sure
Unlike other species we strive for more
than primary needs, we have a free will
to do what we want, but, we´re still
driven by instincts and emotions
Even if we try, we can´t dispose ´em
The human being is a social creature
We´ve built societies with different features
What feeds the machine is the cash we chase
Sexuality, gender, class, creed, race
All these labels just devides us
Some of us finds it hard to survive, ´cos
our condition of life is not the same
If we´re the cause, how can we stop the pain?
The fear that one day everything could be lost
makes us preserve a lifestyle no matter the cost
Hook x2 We´re born, grow up, work, reproduce
Retire, grow old, die, what´s the use?
Some spend their entire lives searchin´ for clues
What´s the meaning of life?
3rd Verse
Death, so horrible, don´t you agree?
It´s hard to accept that we gonna d-i-e
We tend to avoid the subject when it´s brought up
Life after death is a comfortin´ thought, but
it´s a sign of denial, and when we´re in grief
we can´t help to question our belief
At the funeral all dressed in black
Casket, never pictured ´em to rest in that
Wishin´ they were here ´cos we miss ´em so bad
You´ll never know when you gonna wear a toe tag
Life´s symphony wasn´t composed to last
In November we remember those who passed
Light candles on their graves and reminisce
Life goes on ´ til the day when we´re stiff
Hold on to your life, it´s the best you got
´Cos one day you´re here, the next you´re not
Hook x2 We´re born, grow up, work, reproduce
Retire, grow old, die, what´s the use?
Some spend their entire lives searchin´ for clues
What´s the meaning of life?
