Lyrics
One thing is certain in life
Emphasizes the certainty of death in life.
Inevitably we all must die
Reflects on the inevitability of everyone's mortality.
Is it worth the tears that we all cry
Questions the value of shedding tears for the departed.
When you look into your loved ones eyes
Encourages contemplating the significance of relationships while the loved ones are still alive.
Do you embrace the time while they're alive?
Promotes seizing the moment and cherishing time with loved ones.
Caught up in your daily grind
Describes being engrossed in daily routines.
The ones you love go away too fast
Expresses the fleeting nature of time with loved ones.
When your with them now try and make it last
Encourages making the most of the present with loved ones.
It's always unexpected when they're gone
Highlights the unpredictability of losing someone.
They're here one day, then life moves on
Comments on the suddenness of life transitions.
We're born to die that's the way it is
Acknowledges the inevitability of birth and death.
So remember them and the life they lived
Encourages remembering and honoring the lives of the departed.
Just don't give in or you'll be consumed
Advises against succumbing to grief.
Life is a game and we all must lose
Views life as a game where everyone ultimately loses.
Remember when you hear this song
Associates the song with a message of strength and fearlessness.
You should not be scared, and you must be strong
Encourages courage and resilience when facing life's challenges.
You must be strong or life will get the better of
Reiteration of the importance of strength in facing life's hardships.
You must be strong or life will get the better of
-You must be strong or life will get the better of
-You must be strong
-It started going quicker
Reflects on the acceleration of time, especially during the loss of a parent.
When I watched my father die
-No wallowing in sadness
-When it's your time, it is your time
-There's nothing you can do when
-They reach the other side
-Yet somehow I can't help feeling that
-I'm being left behind
-We don't know how
Expresses uncertainty about the nature of death and its timing.
And we don't know when
-We don't even know
-If it's really the end
-Do you hear my prayers
Pleads for a connection and signs from the departed on the other side.
When I ask for signs
-Will you be there waiting for me
-On the other side?
-You must be strong or life will get the better of
Reiteration of the need for strength in facing life's challenges.
You must be strong or life will get the better of
-You must be strong or life will get the better of
-You must be strong
-(Please be there)
An emotional plea for presence on the other side.
We don't know how
Continuation of uncertainty about death and a plea for a presence beyond.
And we don't know when
-We don't even know
-If it's really the end
-Do you hear my prayers
-When I ask for signs
-Will you be there waiting for me
-On the other side?
Final expression of the hope for reunion on the other side.
