After Life

Lord you know I'm losing speed
A bit of energy is all I need
God the race is all but won
But I'm finding it hard to carry on

And they cry 'La di da di da di da'
Send horses and elephants, this thing weighs a ton
And they cry 'La di da di da di da'
You carried me, so I'll carry you, before you're overrun

You pride yourself with patience
But you can't see any future if these people exist
And in the end, will I still feel
You know, simply wanting something does not make it real

And they cry 'La di da di da di da'
A lamppost, or a lantern, so I still see the light
And they cry 'La di da di da di da'
Seasons change, the Earth moves, after you die

Quiet now you cease to breathe
Oceans, jungles, cities, a whole world still underneath
And though your heart no longer beats
Life still blossoms amidst the chaos hopefully

You may not ever see it through
But hesitate from thinking what matters ends with you
So heed the call, you're still alive
And give new meaning to the words 'never ending life'

And they cry 'La di da di da di da'
A plane crash, or a shipwreck, or a slowly burning fuse
And we cry 'La di da di da di da'
Because words can't truly describe what we stand to lose
