Life and Death (A song for my Great Grandma)

I haven't written a song for a long time but I could not stop crying tonight. I haven't cried since my Grandma's funeral. I hadn't actually thought about it since then until tonight. I really hate getting emotional and sappy but this song I wrote is for her and I hope that somewhere, wherever she may be, she can read it and smile.

(The progression is supposed to be similar to Let Love Down by Gaga)

Do you ever question the universe
Do you ever question the pain
At times you have to stop and wonder
Is the water really rain

Why do we hurt
Why do we cry
What is the point in living
When eventually we die

(Pre-chorus)
Should we all just end it now
Try to escape the pain somehow
Or should we all just band together
Make the best of what we've got

I know we cannot make life perfect
But let's at least give it a shot

(Chorus)
We'll never know all the truth (Never know the truth)
No we'll never know all the lies (Never know the lies)
We may not know what comes next
But let's hope we get it right

We have got a long way to go
And I think it's best to know
We're doin fine
We've still got time

Why are we here
Give me a sign
Life is a conveyor belt
What's at the end is only told by time

(Pre-chorus)
Should we all just end it now
Try to escape the pain somehow
Or should we all just band together
Make the best of what we've got

I know we cannot make life perfect
But let's at least give it a shot

(Chorus)
We'll never know all the truth
No we'll never know all the lies
We may not know what comes next
But let's hope we get it right

We have got a long way to go
And I think it's best to know
We're doin fine
We've still got time

(Bridge)
I've still got time left
But I know that you're gone
I hope that where you are is warm and safe from danger
I love you please know that Grandma I hope you found your savior

(Chorus)
We'll never know all the truth (Never know the truth)
No we'll never know all the lies (Never know the lies)
We may not know what comes next
But let's hope we get it right

We have got a long way to go
And I think it's best to know
We're doin fine
We've still got time

This is so beautiful your grandma would be happy
