Lyrics

Life's a Peach

To a boy of 5, those peaches seemed to be stars in the sky
They might as well have been light years away
But daddy's hands lifted me right up to the sun
I reached out and grabbed a big juicy one

Hey now, don't get down - it don't matter anyhow
Hey you, the sweetest fruit is now within our reach
Come, come hurry now - it's tasty and it's oh so sweet
Reach for the stars and grab a hold - 'cause life's a peach - life's a peach

When the world has turned sour and life is spoiled rotten
Think about the hidden gems somehow forgotten
You can't reach for the stars if you're sinking deep in the ground
You can take my hand and together we can turn it all around

Hey now, don't get down - it don't matter anyhow
Hey you, the sweetest fruit is now within our reach
Come, come hurry now - it's tasty and it's oh so sweet
Reach for the stars and grab a hold - 'cause ...

Life's a baby's hand around your little finger
A lonely man who finds a friend on the corner
The pain of injustice - or a day at the beach
Life's a victory in the final lap of the race
Fear at night, a smile on your face
Life is never giving up when it's beyond your reach
It's as sweet as you make it, life's a peach

Hey now, don't get down - it don't matter anyhow
Hey you, the sweetest fruit is now within our reach
Come, come hurry now - it's tasty and it's oh so sweet
Reach for the stars and grab a hold - grab a hold - 'cause life's a peach

It don't matter anyhow - life's a peach
The fruit is now within our reach - life's a peach
It's tasty and it's oh so sweet - life's a peach
It's tasty and it's oh so sweet ...
