lyrics
V.1: He said it’s hard to trust, if things seem so good,
when you’re used to so much struggle and strife /
But another time and another place,
If you were alone – I could take you for a wife…
BRIDGE #1: Well don’t matter how we live our lives,
Why should we even care…?
And matters not what name it has
—just as long as you're still there…..
V.2: She said my hours were cut, and now my pension too,
cant afford the rent and my cupboards are all bare /
And the other day this letter arrived,
says that I’ve lost sight, of the rules about what’s “fair”…
BRIDGE #2: Well don’t matter how we live our lives,
How could they even care…?
/ CHORUS : Sometimes it touches me, sometimes it touches you….
Too many are suffering, while you tell them it’s not true....
When people sink too deep, we gotta lift them up for air….
when life catches up with you,
—you’ll know it’s really there…..
V.3: Now Just doing your best, with the hand you’re dealt,
Could be true "Success" when kindness is quite rare,
Sure there are decent jobs but go and join the line,
how come the Mining Chiefs, still dictate what’s fair?!
BRIDGE #3: Well don’t matter how we live our lives,
Why would they even care…?!
/ CHORUS : …………………………………….
When life catches up with you,
—you’ll know it’s really there…..
+ And matters not what name it has
—just as long as you're still there. //
