This is the Life © 2005 Kaplan

This is the life, is this a life worth claiming
Shoulder the blame;
face of the hidden father
I know what is wrong and what feels right and what’s not up to me
Is this a sign,
it’s too close to be a coincidence

I’m getting older
The clock hangs on the wall in apathy
Judgment turns to latch the front gate
Before it marches in

This is the life, is this a crime committed
Power to choose to end or continue
I know what is strong and what is weak and what’s not part of me
Is this a line, it’s too thin to have such certainty

I’m getting older
The clock hangs on the wall in apathy
Judgment turns to latch the front gate
Before it marches in

He’s holding it back while letting go
He’s letting go, he’s letting go

This is the life, is there a now more present
To offer a gift; a way to release you
I know what is real and what that means and what’s not meant for me
Is this a plea or is this a wanted social afterlife

He’s holding it back while letting go
He’s letting go, he’s letting go
He’s gone
