Lyrics
Growing up we didn?t have a clue what life was about
We struggled with it every day at times we were all worn out
Just two kids out in the world not knowing where to go
How it lasted all this time I don?t think I?ll ever know
It should have tore us both apart
When we broke each other?s heart
This is our life
Then the children came, we didn?t have a plan
We dealt with it day to day we lived hand to hand
They made us better friends than we had ever known
The purest form of love, now it would be our own
They grew up fast they grew up strong
The years flew by and they moved on
This is our life
This is our life
Taking care of Mom and Dad then telling them goodbye
No way to make sense of it
The only answer to why is
This is our life
This is our life
Growing up I never had a clue what life was about
It seems I?m all grown up I still don?t have much figured out
Now there?s only you and me this time belongs to us
All that pain and misery we?ll leave it in the dust
You know we still don?t have a plan
But we?ll go forward hand in hand
Cause this is our life
This is our life
This is our life
This is our life
