lyrics

WHAT A LIFE
The sun goes up the sun goes down, big old world turns around
Busy feet don’t touch the ground, what a life this is
Now I aint wealthy or well known, what you see is what I own
All I earn is quickly blown, what a life this is
Try to break the protocol, find yourself free your soul
Step outside the goldfish bowl what a life this is
What a life this is
Caught up in intensity money blind could not see, all the best things are for free
What a life this is
Like breathing out and breathing in, the springtime air that warms my skin
The flowers bloom the birds that sing
What a life this is
What a life this is
Horizon to horizon the beauty fills my eyes
The rhythm of the rainfall
A gentle lullaby
A pastel coloured rainbow
An endless pale blue sky
Now as I watch the setting sun there’s dancing hops upon my tongue
Think I’ll have another one
What a life this is
