[Verse 1]
Death taught me things in times I was so close I'd feel it
I lived this life pretending I wasn't all the things I needed
I meditated, closed my eyes and focused on my breathing
There was something inside me deeper than this world
I've seen it
The joy I felt as a child climbing trees still survives
That's the thing in my darker times that's kept me alive
I don't have the reason why the world would try reduce the depth of what you are
You'rе the descendants of atoms from thе core of a burning star
[Chorus]
There's more to this life than the pain you've felt
Good friends, good times, you could make it through hell
No, it doesn't get easier but you get better
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
There's more to this life than the pain you've felt
Good friends, good times, you could make it through hell
No, it doesn't get easier but you get better
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
[Verse 2]
How do we keep living when it seems the future's lost?
You celebrate the fights you won and the human lives it cost
Catherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson
Three mathematicians
Black women in the height of American segregation who made it into NASA
Fight like them, fight for life, fight to just fucking survive
Do everything you can to keep that love you have inside
The kids we used to be climbing trees were so fearless
You soul speaks to you when you love yourself enough to hear it
[Chorus]
There's more to this life than the pain you've felt
Good friends, good times, you could make it through hell
No, it doesn't get easier but you get better
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
There's more to this life than the pain you've felt
Good friends, good times, you could make it through hell
No, it doesn't get easier but you get better
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
[Spoken]
Unknown: [?] I think this is where you like- you like let the music talk, you don't say anything
Hyphen: I talk too much?
Unknown: You don't actually need to [?]
[Chorus]
There's more to this life than the pain you've felt
Good friends, good times, you could make it through hell
No, it doesn't get easier but you get better
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
There's more to this life than the pain you've felt
Good friends, good times, you could make it through hell
No, it doesn't get easier but you get better
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
The past, future fades but the moment's forever
