it's a great life

to the left

to the right

we think we're okay

we walk

we talk

forget where we're going

we lose our way

we love

we laugh

we act like we're happy

if just for a day

now times have changed

so don't be fooled

you've got to remember

you gotta be cool

there's too many forces you can't control

you better think twice before you're too old

it's great life

if you don't weaken

i've paid a high price for all i've done wrong

it's great life

if you don't weaken

my daddy told me

so i wrote this song

we feel

we touch

we see other people

we put on a smile

we come

we go

with so much frustration

accepting denial

the time has come

you must stand tall

you've just arrived

can't conquer it all

the sun has set

the tide's begun

your ship has sailed

what have you become?

it's great life

if you don't weaken

i've paid a high price for all i've done wrong

it's great life

if you don't weaken

my daddy told me

so i wrote this song

my daddy told me

so i wrote this song

now times have changed

so don't be fooled

you've got to remember

you gotta be cool

it's great life

if you don't weaken

i've paid a high price for all i've done wrong

it's great life

if you don't weaken

my daddy told me

so i wrote this song

it's great life

if you don't weaken

i've paid a high price for all i've done wrong

it's great life

if you don't weaken

my daddy told me

so i wrote this song

my daddy told me

so i wrote this song

my daddy told me

so wrote this song
