Let Life Go On

Tomorrow's the first day of Christmas break As usual, I've gone and stayed up too late Almost tripped over a box, had to bring it in and open it It was a hat, gloves and scarf from my loved ones in Hoboken Late to church as usual, my turn to play the bass Why does every day feel like we're in a race? Came home for about two hours Threw away the dead birthday flowers Had people in my life but one by one they died One of them said I wouldn't lose them but they lied They were true to themselves, and now they're gone But if you can, give it to God and let life go on Ate some chili mac and then went back To church at 5 o'clock for service in the dark Trying not to waste the rest of my life The simple truth sometimes cuts like a knife I still have my church, a handful of them to boot People leave your life because they disapprove They can't forgive you or they just don't care Or they made a vow that they would not be there Had people in my life but one by one they died One of them said I wouldn't lose them but they lied They were true to themselves, and now they're gone But if you can, give it to God and let life go on
