Life - Chet Baker, Barney Kessel

You can’t change life.

But life can change u

In just an instant.

ur life cud be taken away

Why do we… live our lives

If we all… gona diee

See I wish… life wud last

But it goes… by so fast

God created you then he took you away

Out of all the people in the world, why dint he let you stay

You shouldn’t have gone at such an early stage

If you stayed alive, everything wud av changed

When you died, I dint get to see you

So wen I die, I hope to god I get to meet you

Rest in peace meadow, we all thinkin about you

Heaven wouldn’t be heaven if it was without you

I just want the answer to why she had to go

Woz it 'cause of life, and because its so low

Or woz it 'cause you were special and he couldn’t let go

Please tell me, I just want to know

I asked for a sister, and he gave me one

You were born, 5 mins later you life was gone

See, I believe in him now 'cause he answered my call

But life is life and were always gona fall

Why do we… live our lives

If we all… gona diee

See I wish… life wud last

But it goes… by so fast

You gotta live each day as if it is your last

'cause when you look at it, your life is goin by fast

You can’t even go back to change the past

Not even to change wot put you in a plaster cast

No need to cherish luxuries,'cause they come and go

There’s no need to look for tings that don’t even show

Coz even the life you have can be borrowed

Coz you’re not even guaranteed you’re life tomorrow

Looking on the streets, all I see is greed

Thankin god that wasn’t me, that I saw on da street

There’s no one to hold on to and no one to pull you out

Somethings that have been done we can do without

Everythin we do in life is just in vain

Even a guy with the best life can still die in pain

So ill ask god agen and hope he answers my call

But life is life and were always gona fall

Life in this world is gettin worse and worse

You can tell by the lyrics I’m spittin on this verse

The world is covered by a plague as if it was a curse

Shit loadza people dyin and getin pulled away in a hearse

I’m holdin on to the life that god has gave me

But if anythin does happen, I hope he saves me

One day in life, the world is gona end

Don’t act like you don’t knw, please don’t pretend

Were all gona get wiped out, it scares me for real

My friends and family gone, how do you think I feel?

People start to panic start riots and steal

They won’t care nomore, maybe they’ll even kill

See the life we live may not be da best

So we need to sort it out and lay it out to rest

So ill ask god agen, and hope he answers my call

But life is life and were always gona fall
