of the life of us all vs of our lives

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Of our lives' is the more common and natural way to express the possession of life experiences by a group of people. On the other hand, 'of the life of us all' is a more poetic or formal way to refer to the collective life experiences of everyone.
