Here on Earth

Your rating:
Six feet  under, underneath a beautiful bed of roses
Undearneath the ____ as it closes
We’re walking around you

6 feet under, wonder if you’re up there hanging over
Over this tiny congregation
Here we’re talking about you
Never seen so many flowers

If you ask me
This is all backwards
By keeping a candle with all of your life
And lighting it up on your very last night

If you ask me
This is all backwards
By holding all the blessed words on my tongue
And singing your praises when you’re gone 

I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth

Why do we wait?
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth

6 feet under
I said you never looked more beautiful
Over heard them say you ‚re wondeerful
He said it for the very first time

And it’s no wonder
He’s crying like a baby
Because he missed the chance to say she was the love of his life
We all late
’til it’s a little too late

If you ask me
This is all backwards
By keeping a candle with all of your life
And lighting it up on your very last night

If you ask me
This is all backwards
By holding all the blessed words on my tongue
And singing your praises when you’re gone 

I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth

Why do we wait?
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
Why do we wait?
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth

If you ask me
This is all backwards
By keeping a candle with all of your life
And lighting it up on your very last night

If you ask me
This is all backwards
By holding all the blessed words on my tongue
And singing your praises when you’re gone 

I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth

Why do we wait?
I should have told you why you’re here on Earth
