Life But How To Live It -
Life can get bumpy so get ready for a ride
Think you got a plan but let me confide
Got a few friends? You're luckier than most
On this map of life it's easy to get lost
Make a wrong turn and it could cost you a lot
But let's hope you get more than one shot
But you got to try and get off your ass
Sometimes when you fall down it just means you've got some class
There are no promises anyone can keep
No one will cry for you, maybe your momma' will weep
Be who you are let the players play their game
Being real is its own reward and it could keep you sane
You might just get to win some And there are so many more you lose
At least when you earn something You know you paid your dues
And if something comes too easy You'll lose it just the same
Remind yourself there is no sense Trying to lay the blame
So just remember you can run but you can't ever hide
Choose your choices well they are yours to decide
Be who you are and as they say, keep it real
There's nothing very long that you can conceal
Life seems long but it goes by really quick
Be a gentle person and don't be a lousy prick
Be grateful and treat others the way you want to be treated
Don't be sour grapes 'cause every now and then we all get cheated
Life's a vibrating string, an illusion at best
Try to get it better each time and forget the rest
There will always be pain - but it will pass
Try to enjoy it 'cause it goes by so fast
Make a wrong turn and it could cost you a lot
But let's hope you get more than one shot
But you've got to try and get off your ass
Sometimes when you fall down it just means you got some class
Life's a vibrating string, an illusion at best
Try to get it better each time and forget the rest
There will always be pain - but it will pass
Try to enjoy it 'cause it goes by so fast
