Live Life Get By

(album: Temptation - 2006)

People criticize the way I live my life
but who are they to put me down
I try my best and thank the lord I´m blessed everyday
and though I´ve had my share of highs, it made me realise
that nothing ever comes for free
all I do is try and make the most of being me
but sometimes you get to the point
where you just can´t go on and it feels like the end of the road
but if you keep going round
with your head in the clouds will you see what´s right under your nose?

And if it´s never gonna be
don´t try to hold on
see everybody has a dream
that doesn´t seem to go right
you´re not the only one who hurts
there´s people going through so much worse
and still I try, to live my life and get by…

everybody thinks they know how life should go
but nothing ever goes to plan
all we seem to do is wait around for something more
and though I´ve been just where you´ve been I tried to chase a dream
I´ve watched it crumble to the ground
that I´m still standing stronger than I ever have before
so you should keep moving on
till you know that it´s right when it is you´ll know from the inside

And if it´s never gonna be
don´t try to hold on
see everybody has a dream
that doesn´t seem to go right
you´re not the only one who hurts
there´s people going through so much worse
and still I try, to live my life and get by…

everyday all I do
is never quite enough
and in every way, I can say
I'm been close to giving up
if I wanted to I could be
anything I wanna be
it´s taken time for me to realise
that dreams ain´t always what they seem

And if it´s never gonna be
don´t try to hold on
see everybody has a dream
that doesn´t seem to go right
you´re not the only one who hurts
there´s people going through so much worse
and still I try, to live my life and get by…
