lyrics

I have no concrete idea of what my life is all about
I drift along without a care
Why am I here, what’s it all for, what is the purpose of my life
I drift along without a care

I see the trees, I see the sky, I love the sea I wonder why
Why is it that we are all here
It cannot be that this is chance there must surely be a truth
Behind the wonders that we see

If there’s a God somewhere above, why does he not proclaim his love

Are we alone spinning in space, the lonely know this is the place
The place we’re born and where we’ll die
Why am I here, what’s it all for, what is the purpose of my life
Can there just be no reason why

Day by day I make my way towards the ashes in the vase
I drift along without a care
Why am I here, what’s it all for, what is the purpose of my life
I drift along without a care

If there’s a God somewhere above, why does he not proclaim his love

Can it be true there’s nothing more, why then do we exist at all
To struggle here upon the earth knowing we’ll never leave this berth
To live and die under the sun no holy father no holy one
There is no God up there above we only live to give our love

I have no concrete idea of what my life is all about
I drift along without a care
