It's the Life

What's going on underground
Are you still trying to find a way out
To come back home
To where you belong
You said you'd come back soon
And then they said you had gone

What do you mean you're there for life
Is it 'cause of all those things I said on that night
I'm so sorry I lied
You were the greatest mother alive
And now it's so hard to face the guilt inside

So do you remember the time
When we saw nothing as a threat to laughter
When the days stayed with the rhyme
And we all counted on that happily ever after
And though there's changes in time
I still hear you say in my mind
It's not the years it's the life
It's not the years it's the life

But, how can I sleep
Knowing when I awake from the shadows of my dreams
You won't be there
Not even standing next to me
On those special days
That make life complete

I remember the day we had to say goodbye
I remember they took you away and I began to cry
As I pictured your smile
And all your final moments in life
But I didn't know that until you were ripped from my sight

So I guess this is goodbye
And although there are so many threats to laughter
There are still changes in time
And we can still have that happily ever after
As long as you're by our sides
Through all the smiles and the disaster
And as days fall back in line
I'll still hear you say in my mind
It's not the years it's the life
