THE STORY OF LIFE
By Mighty Shadow

While going through some torture and strife?
Well, I sat and I asked myself, "What is life?"
Why all this struggling to survive?
What is the sense of being alive?

You small and your Mama tell you born
You fighting to grow up to be a man
You grow up, you fall down and bounce your head
You don't even know if you end up dead.

Chorus:
What is life?
Can anyone around give an explanation?
What is life?
Life is something no one will understand
Take the trees, they grow big and strong just to be cut down
Tell me the sense, this tree was ever in existence?

Take two fishes fighting for survival
The big one must swallow the small
Then up comes a big shark from nowhere
Well, he makes a grab and swallow the pair
Then up comes the fisherman with he rope
Well he grab the shark and he gone and cook
Next time he wind up in the cemetery
And worms end up eating he.

Chorus:
What is life?
Can anyone around give an explanation?
What is life?
Life is something no one will understand
Take the trees, they grow big and strong just to be cut down
Tell me the sense, this tree was ever in existence?

Well, a worm in a valley eating some germs
Up came a fowl who eat up the worm,
And then a manicou eat the fowl
And then a hunter catch the manicou on the prowl
Well he grab the animal and he gone and cook
Next thing he wind up dead like a mook
And when he end up in the cemetery
Same worms end up eating he.

Chorus:
What is life?
Can anyone around give an explanation?
What is life?
Life is something no one will understand
Take the trees, they grow big and strong just to be cut down
Tell me the sense. This tree was ever in existence?
