Life Itself Lyrics

Be brave to find the way

That makes you roar with joy

That helps you with the pain

Of past and present ploy

It's water to my thirst

And sun rays on my face

It's the best and it's the worst

Description of my days

It's not just for a cause

And not just for the thrill

It's the rising and the pause

That keeps my heart from going still

It's my own voice that beckons

In the middle of the night

Through the riddles and the monsters

That haven't left my side

And I sing and sing and sing

And through it all I hear myself

And I know that in the end

I'm not to be somebody else

And I sing and sing and sing

And the sound of my own voice

Ricochets on walls of concrete

Makes my little soul rejoice

Work hard for what you want

And do it for yourself

Work hard for what you want

Do it for no-one else

I need this to survive

It's in the air I breathe

In my chest and in my mind

It's the only way I'm free

It's not just for a cause

And not just for the thrill

It's the rising and the pause

That keeps my heart from going still

It's my own voice that beckons

In the middle of the night

Through the riddles and the monsters

That haven't left my side

And I sing and sing and sing

And through it all I hear myself

And I know that in the end

I'm not to be somebody else

And I sing and sing and sing

And the sound of my own voice

Ricochets on walls of concrete

Makes my little soul rejoice

And you play on strings of gold

And the moment that it hits me

I'm alive for sake of life

If I ever knew something

Very sure about myself

Is that music is the drive

Leading me through life itself

And I sing and sing and sing

And through it all I hear myself

And I know that in the end

I'm not to be somebody else

And I sing and sing and sing

And the sound of my own voice

Ricochets on walls of concrete

Makes my little soul rejoice
