Lyrics
"THIS IS YOUR LIFE"
Written by: LYNN CAREY SAYLOR (all words & music)
I'VE BEEN STANDING ON THE SIDELINES
ROOTING FOR YOUR HAPPINESS
I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERFERE IN YOUR LIFE
SO I WISHED YOU ALL THE BEST
HOPING YOU WOULD NOT FORGET
BUT MY WISHES HAD NO EFFECT ON YOU
NOW IT'S TIME THAT I SAY
YOU'VE GOT TO STOP WASTING AWAY
(chorus)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
IT'S NOT A DRILL
YOU'VE GOTTA USE YOUR FREE WILL
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
THERE'S NO MAGIC PILL
YOU CAN'T JUST SLIDE BY
BUT DON'T MAKE IT HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR FATE
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
YOU'RE A MYSTERY TO ME
WISH I COULD MAKE YOU SEE
JUST WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO YOURSELF
WHAT WENT SO WRONG, IT KILLED YOUR SPIRIT
WISH I COULD HELP YOU BE
WHO I KNOW YOU ARE DOWN DEEP
YOU'VE GOT TO LET SOMEONE IN
BEFORE YOU CAN LET
THE HEALING BEGIN
(chorus)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
IT'S NOT A DRILL
YOU'VE GOTTA USE YOUR FREE WILL
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
THERE'S NO MAGIC PILL
YOU CAN'T JUST SLIDE BY
BUT DON'T MAKE IT HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR FATE
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
(bridge)
THERE'S A ROAD I WANT TO LEAD YOU DOWN
YOU WILL SEE ALL THE GOOD IN YOU I'VE FOUND
COME WITH ME, PLEASE DON'T SAY NO
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS I NEED YOU TO KNOW
(REPEAT CHORUS)
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR FATE
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR FATE
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
