Lyrics

And then we die – dslocumb lyrics and music December 2023

Love unites what hate divides if we give it half a try

We all do the best we can and then we die

V1

I know that I ain’t perfect, but I got some things to say

So give a listen if you want to cause I’m only here today

Practicing compassion means I gotta play it where it lies

We all do the best we can and then we die

Chorus

We’re not so different from each other, we come and go, we laugh, we cry

I see the soul that’s under cover shining in your loving eyes

Love unites what hate divides if we give it half a try

We all do the best we can and then we die

V2

Life it is a hard hard road, no matter where you start

You’re only truly happy when you’re living from your heart

Give some grace to those who spend their lives just getting by

We all do the best we can and then we die

chorus

We’re not so different from each other, we come and go like day and night

I see the soul that’s under cover shining in your eyes so bright

If our outsides matched our insides, we’d all be butterflies

We all do the best we can and then we die

Bridge

God grant me the humility to treat all souls with dignity, regardless of our differences, to

know that we’re the same

And remind me to check my mirror if I want someone to blame

Chorus

We’re not so different from each other, we come and go, we laugh, we cry

I see the soul that’s under cover shining in your loving eyes

Love unites what hate divides if we give it half a try

We all do the best we can and then we die

V3

We live and learn if we are lucky, crash and burn if we are not

We get just one chance at life so give it everything you got

There is one abiding truth I know on which we can rely

We all do the best we can and then we die
---
We are not different from each other, we come and go we say goodbye

I see the soul that’s under cover shining in your loving eyes

Love unites what hate divides if we give it half a try

We all do the best we can and then we die

We all do the best we can and then we die
