Isn't it strange
Ain't it a shame
People walking down Broadway
Begging for change
We just walk by
Don't hear that they're crying
We just keep on tapping on our two-way
Oblivious to other people's pain

Gotta open up our eyes
Gotta read between the lines
Gotta listen to the sounds

This is the life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got
Right now, woah
Don't you worry
Hey, we're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey

You feel so alone
Your problems at home
They always seem to follow you wherever you go
You're caught in a daze
You wish you could change
But you always tell yourself
That hope seems a million miles away

Gotta wake up from your sleep
Gotta stay awake to dream
Gotta open your heart and believe

This is the life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got
Right now, woah
Don't you worry
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey

1, 2, 3 yeah
It's a rollercoaster life
Up and down and side to side
Just shout to get it right

This is the life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying, woo
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got
Right now, woah
Don't you worry
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Hey, we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Woo
