Lyrics

"The Score
(Lyrics - C. Webster - Music - M. Novak)

CHORUS:
The score – Adds up while we are living
It’s always gettin’ higher
The score – High score is less forgiving
It’s always gettin’ higher
The score – In the end is all erased
The score – Others will be taking your place

Body remembers what the mind forgets
You learn that early you have no regrets
Illness haunts you life and limb
Emotions spill up and over the brim

We're driven to the highest score
Late in life realize there is much more
Fighting and conflict forever our ills
Never seeing our true free will

CHORUS:

The graveyard bell will ring for you
If you don’t heed it you're mornings will be few
The death of family and friends
You’re feeling hurt and lost at both ends

When your love ones hit the floor
You'll cry out for them and implore
Bodies record a lifetime of woe
Mind forgets questions let go
What’s the score

Passage of time shows on your face
Never realize the quickening pace
You'll never win if you don't play
Winners know this creates their way

Our scores will be tallied at the end of it all
Not by fairies but by life’s eight ball
Fate is not sealed without an out
Choice and decision is what life's about

CHORUS:
