LIFE

WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter

          I.  see the man
              with newspaper in his shoes,
              stubble on his chin,
              and troubled avenues...
              to him the world
              is a place to lose.

   CHORUS A:  life,
              don't let me see you that way.
              put a looking glass
              behind every day
              to reflect
              the hidden sides.
              give me
              a billion eyes,
              a billion eyes.

         II.  crying now,
              he lives in his yesterdays,
              talkin' on the street
              to ev'ry empty space.
              to him the world
              is a lonely place.

        III.  senators,
              he says they don't belong.
              he's got strong beliefs,
              but noone goes along.
              he thinks he's right
              and they're all wrong.

              /// REPEAT CHORUS A ///

         IV.  burned his home
              with his fam'ly stuck inside.
              tried to kill himself,
              but something went awry.
              to him the world
              is a place to die.

   CHORUS B:  I said, life,
              don't let me see you that way.
              put a looking glass
              behind every day
              to reflect
              the hidden sides.
              give me
              a billion eyes.

     ENDING:  I said, life,
              don't let me see you that way.
              life,
              don't let me see you that way.
              don't let me see you that way-hey-hey.
              I said, li-i-ife,
              don't let me see you that way.
              don't let me see you that way.
