This Life

Ain't no cars on the road this afternoon
Like a night without the moon up there
They're all at home hanging out
Their eyes glued to the tube without a single care

Not a cloud in the sky
The Sun is shining so bright
Today is beautiful
It's true some things never change
Others need rearranging
Push and pull

This life is the one we're living
What a gift that you've been given
True love is not a fable
Open your heart if you are able

Ain't no one on the road this afternoon
Like a clown without balloons to share
They've all gone out of town
Their ears are glued to the sound
Of peace and love everywhere

Not a bomb in the sky
The stars are shining so bright
Tonight is wonderful
Some feel that life is a game
While others struggle in vain
To stay alive in this world

This life is the one we're living
Not what you take it's what you're giving
If there is food upon your table
Give what you can while you're still able

Ain't no folks on the road this summer day
Like a joke is being played out there
Up at the lake chilling out
Hands glued to a can of beer so unaware
Of all the shit going down in other cities and towns
It's unbelievable
People open your eyes
The time is now realize
It's so conceivable

This life is the one we're living
This life is the one we're living
This life is the one we're living
