[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 1]
What's this life for? What's this life for?
What's this life for? What's this life for?
[Chorus 2]

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 2]
I see your soul, it's kind of gray

You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer because

Because we all live under the reign
Of just as you know of one king, one king, one king
[Chorus 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
But they aren't here anymore
Don't have to settle no goddamn score
Because we all live under the reign
Of one king
