Hurray for
A child that makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they've known just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
'Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
I said, you know, of
One king
One king
One king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
I said, you know, of
One king
One king
One king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
Of one king
A child that makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they've known just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
'Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
I said, you know, of
One king
One king
One king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
I said, you know, of
One king
One king
One king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no Goddamn score
'Cause we all live under the reign
Of one king

In response to what 'psycochic' said, "You see my wrist, I know your pain" means that the singer knows what its like to be close to the edge; they've cut themselves before. Everyone else's meaning is pretty much on target.
