"Prospect" lyrics

Wandering through prospect cemetery
Couldn't be further from home
Reading the headstones like poetry
Nobody wants to die unknown

Never got to meet my grandfather
Nobody told me where he lays
It's a trip how someone you never knew
Can be buried in your DNA

I just want to live
Like someone before my time is counting on me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
And walk beneath the wings
Like someone from another life is looking out for me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh

If I told you that I sat with angels
Would you listen or laugh at me?
It's the only reason I give a damn
And wrestle with this apathy

It's a fight against a slight existence
When you're trying to make sense of time
'Cause forever is a lonely moment
But I see forever in my children's eyes

I just want to live
Like someone before my time is counting on me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
And walk beneath the wings
Like someone from another life is looking out for me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh

Looking out for me, Ohhh
Looking out for me, I-I-I
Looking out for me, Ohhh
Looking out for me, I-I-I

I just want to live
Like someone before my time is counting on me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
And walk beneath the wings
Like someone from another life is looking out for me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh

I just want to live
Like someone before my time is counting on me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
And walk beneath the wings
Like someone from another life is looking out for me
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh

Wandering through prospect cemetery
Trying to find where I belong
Kicking the dust realizing
That nobody wants to live alone
