Lyrics

Life is Beautiful

Trapped inside a diamond, we look outside

At everything and we forget

Life is beautiful

Drag strips out to sea hunts

Race to catch a wave or a falling star

Life is beautiful

Knock down all the houses

Pull up all the trees

Make a wish, life is beautiful

Life is beautiful (ah)

Life is beautiful (ah)

Life is beautiful (ah)

Life is beautiful (ah)
