-Lyrics-
-Song Structure-
Hurray for a child
Verse 6x
That makes it through
Chorus 4x
If there's any way
Verse 5x
Because the answer lies in you
Chorus 4x
They're laid to rest
Interlude 5x
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
I see your 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
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king
