Lyrics
It has all been up and down so far,
Like trying to start a faulty car,
I run and try to leapfrog a back
Then crash in a heap on life's roller coaster track.
Yet still I am looking for a bright new day,
With gold sun shining to show me the way,
I've not lost hope of a brand new start,
For I believe with all of my heart:
Life is for living, life is for giving
Of yourself in every way,
You have to be believing,
That you'll soon be perceiving,
That you can make a better day.
It's been bumpy all along the way,
I've discovered that I've feet of clay,
I run and try to leapfrog a back,
Then crash in a heap on life's roller coaster track.
Yet still I am waiting for a breaking dawn,
When dreams come to life and hope is reborn,
I still have faith in a brand new start,
For I believe with all of my heart:
Life is for living, life is for giving
Of yourself in every way,
You have to be believing
That you'll soon be perceiving
That you can make a better day.
Make that better day.
