Lyrics Life Is - Al Jarreau

Life Is

They’re sayin' stick the script
But there’s more to the book, somehow
Yellin' on the corner just a waste of time
They can never know the truth in that frame of mind
Come spark the track with your gift
God bless your grits bring it on now
Cause you know there’s much more to the script
Try to lift your spirits to the very tip
And…
Life is
Worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see
See Life is
Worth much more to me
Than you could ever…
The other day I was afraid of being hypnotized
By so many people whose dreams won’t begin to be realized
But I came to know
The lessons they were told wasn’t really so
But they kept tellin' me
Do all the things we do and you’ll be good to go
See.
You ain’t really drivin' as long as you ridin'
With those who would steal your soul
You’ve been crippled to pieces so dig what they preach
And don’t come with that hit no more
I’m down for the cause I mean takin' a pause
Really live for the time we’re given
Baby, can’t you hear the drum?
Now listen hear it comes
It speaks of a life that’s worth living
