Everyone's life is bittersweet   It's a door that opens wide   And no man can call himself complete   Till he's seen it from both sides      This door swings both ways   It's marked 'In' and 'Out'   Some days, you'll want to cry   And some days, you will shout      This door swings both ways   It goes back and forth   In comes a southern breeze   Or a cold wind from the north      This door swings both ways   Lets in joy and pain   In comes the morning sun   And then the evening rain      This door swings both ways   Lets in dark and light   Every day you make the choice   To let in wrong or right      When shadows fall   You must prepare yourself for sunshine   For everything, there is an end   And so, my friend, you must be brave      This door swings both ways   Which one will it be   Will we live in happiness   Or dwell in misery      This door swings both ways   Lets in earth and sky   Make the most of livin'   If you're not prepared to die   Make the most of livin'   If you're not prepared to die
