What Life Brings

(앨범: Ordinary Man - 2007)

She was barely hanging on
The love of her family kept her strong
She was trying to survive
Trail of death in her eyes

Two kids, a husband and a dog
A minimum wage is rough enough
They had fun and did alright
They had each other and loved life

You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone

Then somewhere around Christmas
Santa brought his gifts but no one noticed
'Cause the dark days were just right
For the news that had arrived

They found a little knob inside her breast
"Never saw a smaller one," is what they said
A day of hospital, then move one
You're young at heart and nothing's wrong

Flowers grew and one year passed
Santa's time was here again
And once again the doctor called
"There's nothing we can do. That's all."

You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone

You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone

And then a perfect day in August
She spread her wings and then took off
They laid her body down to rest
Next to her father is where she lies best

You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone

You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone
