In This Life

Sitting on a park bench

Thinking about a friend of mine

He was only 23

Gone before he had his time

It came without a warning

Didn't want his friends to see him cry

He knew the day was dawning

And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye
Chorus:

In this life I loved you most of all
What for

'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself

What for

What for

Driving down the boulevard

Thinking about a man I knew

He was like a father to me

Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do

Taught me to respect myself

Said that we're all made of flesh and blood

Why should he be treated differently

Shouldn't matter who you choose to love
(chorus)

In this life I loved you most of all

What for

'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself

What for
Intermediate:
People pass by and I wonder who's next
Who determines' who knows best

Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case

Ignorance is not bliss
(chorus)

In this life I loved you most of all

What for

'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself

What for
(intermediate)
People pass by and I wonder who's next

Who determines' who knows best

Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case

Ignorance is not bliss

Have you ever watched your best friend die

Have you ever watched a grown man cry

Some say that life isn't fair

I say that people just don't care

They'd rather turn the other way

And wait for this thing to go away

Why do we have to pretend

Some day I pray it will end

I hope it's in this life

I hope it's in this life time

(repeat)
