Lyrics
After all, everything'd been said and done
I feel, I feel better now
Come away, lay your hands at rest and close your eyes
Say a prayer for those who've gone
It's hard, it's hard
It's hard, it's hard
To live, to live
To live, to live
It's hard, it's hard
It's hard, it's harder
Than it's ever been before
Things that used to comfort me
Don't comfort me anymore
After all, the children being born into
A time of searching for some glory
And the lie's still repeating through the years
Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori
It's hard, it's hard
It's hard, it's hard
To live, to live
To live, to live
It's hard, it's hard
It's hard, it's harder
Than it's ever been before
Things that used to comfort me
Don't comfort me anymore
But you can't spend your whole life
Waiting for God to kiss you
You can't spend your whole life
Waiting for God to kiss you
Can't spend your whole life
Waiting for God to kiss you back
Come on, come on, come on, back
Kiss you back, kiss you back
Kiss you back, kiss you back
