WILL REASON TELL ME WHY I LIVE TODAY?
WHAT VALUE LIFE DOES HAVE UPON THIS EARTH
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FINALLY PASS AWAY?

BELIEFS ATTEMPT TO GIVE ME MY OWN WAY
TO GIVE ME CHOICE OF EITHER THIS OR THAT
WILL REASON TELL ME WHY I LIVE TODAY?

SO MANY VARIED SPECIES; LIFE'S ARRAY
TRYING TO SURVIVE THIS PETRE DISH
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FINALLY PASS AWAY?

I FIGHT, I LOVE, I KILL IN DEATH'S DELAY
MY TIME UPON THIS ROCK A STRUTING PLAY
DOES REASON TELL ME WHY I LIVE TODAY?

SOME CLAIM THEY KNOW IT ALL OR SO THEY SAY
RECITING MAGIC WORDS TO SOOTHE THE BEAST
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FINALLY PASS AWAY?

TRUTH WILL BE, WHY WORRY ABOUT MY STAY
I'LL LIVE IT FULL, THE WONDER THAT IS ME
WILL REASON TELL ME WHY I LIVE TODAY?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FINALLY PASS AWAY?
