This Is Life |
| If your lonely heart is aching |
| Think you can’t take any more |
| You have to cup your hands to keep the light |
| I will lean across your shoulder |
| And whisper in your ear |
| That this is life |
| If you’re old enough to face it |
| You are old enough to fake it |
| To get what you desire and still ask why |
| Then I’ll tap you on the shoulder |
| And whisper in your ear |
| That this is life |
| This is what you struggled for |
| No reprisals, no resistance |
| This is life |
| Can you answer me a question- |
| Have you lain awake at night |
| The blinds undrawn, the ceiling streaked with light? |
| You feel tired but you can’t sleep |
| Feel so hungry you can’t eat- |
| Well, this is life |
| Has your courage seemed to fail you |
| As you take your chosen path? |
| You pass a camel through a needle’s eye |
| Get up in tiny little pieces |
| And you’ve learnt the major rule: |
| That this is life |
| This is what you waited for |
| No rehearsals, no more stalling |
| This is life |
| Have it tattooed on the inside |
| Of your pink and sleepy eyelids; |
| This is life |
| This is life |
| Absence makes the heart grow fonder |
| Grow more foolish than we can ever guess |
| You feel your nerve ends slowly coiling |
| And you hope the answer’s «no», the answer’s «yes» |
| This is what you struggled for |
| No reprisals, no resistance |
| This is life |
| This is what you waited for |
| No rehearsals, no more stalling |
| This is life |
| If you can’t do what you ought |
| Lead by example, don’t get caught |
| 'cause this is life |
| Uh, this is life |
| This is life |
| This is life |
| This is life |
| This is life |
