for the love of life lyrics
by David Sylvian
[Verse 1]
And slowly
You come to realize
It's all as it should be
You can only do so much
If you're game enough
You could place your trust in me
[Chorus 1]
For the love of life
There's a trade off
We could lose it all, but we'll go down fighting
[Bridge]
And what of the children?
Surely they can't be blamed for our mistakes
[Verse 2]
And slowly
I've come to realize
It's all as it should be
That hiding space
A lonely place
How can the right thing be so wrong?
I've found mistakes where they don't belong
[Chorus 2]
For the love of life
We'll defeat this
They may tear us down, but we'll go down fighting
[Outro]
Won't we?
