Lyrics
Life is hard when you're down and alone
When life just waits for you to stand on your own
But given time you will see that even life wants you to see
That given hope you will find all you need deep inside, 'cause
Life is good
Life is great
Life is asking you to participate
Life just wants to be loved just like everybody else does
And life won't mind, take your time until you are strong
Let the years slowly mend all that went wrong
And as the sun starts to rise and the tears escape your eyes
Life your head to the skies and let the beauty be your guide
Life is good
Life is great
Life is asking you to participate
Life just wants to be loved just like everybody else does
So get on up (repeat) 'cause life is good
