LIFE
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. see the man
with newspaper in his shoes,
stubble on his chin,
and troubled avenues...
to him the world
is a place to lose.
CHORUS A: life,
don't let me see you that way.
put a looking glass
behind every day
to reflect
the hidden sides.
give me
a billion eyes,
a billion eyes.
II. crying now,
he lives in his yesterdays,
talkin' on the street
to ev'ry empty space.
to him the world
is a lonely place.
III. senators,
he says they don't belong.
he's got strong beliefs,
but noone goes along.
he thinks he's right
and they're all wrong.
(repeat chorus A)
IV. burned his home
with his fam'ly stuck inside.
tried to kill himself,
but something went awry.
to him the world
is a place to die.
CHORUS B: I said, life,
don't let me see you that way.
put a looking glass
behind every day
to reflect
the hidden sides.
give me
a billion eyes.
ENDING: I said, life,
don't let me see you that way.
life,
don't let me see you that way.
don't let me see you that way-hey-hey.
I said, li-i-ife,
don't let me see you that way.
don't let me see you that way.
