Life and Love and Why
Switchfoot
The Legend of Chin
Lyrics/Music: Jonathan Foreman
1997 Meadowgreen Music

-1-
Life and love and why 
Child, adult, then die
All of your hoping and 
All of your searching 
For what
Ask me for am I 
Living or what gives 
Me strength 
That I’m willing to die for

Take away from me 
This monstrosity
‘Cause my futile thinking’s
Not gonna solve
Nothing tonight
Ask me for what am I
Living or what gives
Me strenghth
That I’m willing to die for


Chorus:
Could it be this
Could it be bliss
Could it be all that I
Ever had missed
Could it be true
Can life be new
And can be used
Can I be used

-2-
Give me a reason for life
And for death
And a reason for
Drowning while hold
My breath
Something to laugh at a
Reason to cry
With everyone helpless
And hoping for something
To hope for

Could it be true
Can life be new
Could it be all that I am
Is in you
Could it be this
Could it be bliss
Can it be you
Can it be you
