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
