HAVE YOU EVER

HAVE YOU EVER 

Have you ever killed someone Have you ever let someone go The kids round here play “have you ever” To them I say “maybe I have”

Well my father he got old And then one day he said no more He said no more eating — oh, except for ice cream We made a choice and we let him go

Now it don’t matter who you are And it don’t matter what you’ve done When there’s no more doing, there’s only knowing And what you know will take its aim at you

There’s a path you follow to your fate And even now I still walk that way In all these years I’ve never found it But I hope that one day I will

You know there ain’t no road from here to the sun Nor is there any road from here to hell There’s just a road and it bears the burden Of all its travelers of which I’m one

So have you ever killed someone Have you ever had to let them go The kids round here play “have you ever” To them I say “well maybe I have”
