Will Kimbrough - For The Life of Me Lyrics

For the life of me I can't see the world the way you do
But I'd bet a thousand dollars it's the same damn way from me to you
And it's probably just a circle that the sad old human race is cursed to walk
The irony that we are simply animals that learned to drive and talk

Now I greet each new sunrise delightedly
While you look down your nose ever spitefully
I have searched high and low trying so hard to see
But I cannot understand for the life of me

You see blue and I see black, it's empathy we lack
And claim to want
While the history we seem doomed to repeat is
Here to terrify and haunt
For the life of me I cannot sympathize with your
Beliefs nor you with mine
We would rather fiddle while the whole thing burns
Yeah brother that's just fine

Now I greet each new sunrise delightedly
While you look down your nose ever spitefully
I have searched high and low trying so hard to see
But I cannot understand for the life of me

You may greet each new sunrise delightedly
While I look down my nose ever spitefully
Though we search high and low trying so hard to see
We cannot understand
You cannot understand
And I cannot understand
For the life of me"
