Lyrics
LIFE IS FOR LIVING
Hey now gonna look around me
Hey now there?s so much to see
Hey now life is for living
And I don?t want to miss a single thing
Sun comes in and the portable radio calls me up to meet the day
The blankets are heavy and the pillow is deep, so it takes a few minutes to get it straight
Here I am in my bed, my house, that?s my toe peeking out of the sheets
My arms reach up, my legs stretch down, here I am all in one piece
Chorus:
Hit the floor, I?m heading for the back door, out to see what I can see
Mom?s calling me in, I know I should go, but the world?s fascinating from the top of a tree
Look at a leaf fall, listen to a bird call, smell an apple blossoming
Whoop at the sky, let it know I?m here, right here where it?s happening
Chorus:
In the house Dad?s frowning at the world state, Mom is worrying about her weight
Sister?s glued to the telephone wondering if she?s got a Saturday date
They can?t see a leaf fall, they?ll never hear a bird call, they can?t smell an apple blossoming
Hey come on out, I wish you were here, right here where it?s happening
Chorus:
