Here on Earth

Six feet under underneath a beautiful bed of roses

Undearneath the buble 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 told you why you're here on earth

I should have told you why you're here on earth

I 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

Â’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 told you why you're here on earth

I should have told you why you're here on earth

I 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 told you why you're here on earth

I should have told you why you're here on earth

I told you why you're here on earth

Why do we wait

I should have told you why you're here on earth
