Re: Which one is grammatically correct?

In what context do you wish to say these words?

Especially "we"; what do you mean by it? Who are you talking about?

Re: Which one is grammatically correct?

It's generally talking about 'We' as human beings.

If you're talking about different people (with individual lives), use "lives".
If you're describing one connected group, e.g. one family, use "life".
