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!
