This Is Your Life

[Verse 1] Heaven is the newborn child Linger on the baby's cry Echoes till the day you die—you die Falling out into this world Bended, twisted, need to curl Will you ever fly so high—so high? [Verse 2] But from the cradle to the stars You feel the pain, you meet the hours You will need some love—some love (but) With love, thee made the man, they say In this, you have to go your way And you will rise above—you will rise above [Verse 3] For now, you only got this chance Step off the line, learn how to dance With this world—you may survive Then lovin' shine will cross your way Ignite your nights and light your days You will survive—you will survive [Chorus] This is your life! This is your life! [Verse 4] The way you act, the way you are Some few are meant to shine like stars Reachin' out—they've come so far While others come and turn to dust Existing only to adjust This life is so bizarre—it's so bizarre [Verse 5] So may you have the chance to choose Be decent and play by the rules Well, you shall overcome—overcome Or will you raise the brand-new day Blow everybody's minds away You'll shine just like the sun—my son [Verse 6] There's good men on the evil side And bad can make you feel all right Will you fly with the hive—the hive? Or you're the man who's standing tall And raise your fist against it all You will survive—you will survive [Chorus] This is your life! This is your life! [Verse 1 Reprise] Heaven is the newborn child Linger on the baby's cry Echoes till the day you die—you die Falling out into this world Bended, twisted, need to curl Will you ever fly so high—so high? [Verse 2 Reprise] But from the cradle to the stars You feel the pain, you meet the hours You will need some love—some love (but) With love, thee made the man, they say In this, you have to go your way And you will rise above—you will rise above [Verse 5 Reprise] So may you have the chance to choose Be decent and play by the rules Well, you shall overcome—overcome Or will you raise the brand-new day Blow everybody's minds away You'll shine just like the sun—my son [Verse 6 Reprise] There's good men on the evil side And bad can make you feel all right Will you fly with the hive—the hive? Or you're the man who's standing tall And raise your fist against it all You will survive—you will survive [Chorus/Outro] This is your life! This is your life! This is your life!
