Lyrics
Copyright © 2013 Jim Ferrie Music / Studiodawgs
Take a walk and see the smiling faces as the sun is beating down
Listen to the voices all rejoicing now that summer's come around
Listen to the children singing, bands are playing out their favourite songs
So lose your blues, put on your shoes and come on out my friend and sing along
Life is a Festival (x3)
The Festival of Life
So never mind your downs, just turn your back upon your worries and your strife
Smile for the young lovers now and celebrate the simple things in life
Of dogs and cats and birds and bees and chestnut trees all being what they be
All making their own music that surrounds you in a world that's live and free
Life is a Festival (x3)
The Festival of Life
Cynics and naysayers scoff and frown
And piss upon your plans
Losers and loafers'll bring you down
Just rise above it all
Life is a Festival (x3)
The Festival of Life
So give your thanks and praise for every living miracle you see
And maybe there's some darkness in your past if you are anything like me
But every day's another chance allowed, a brand new start
Live and love and celebrate today with a cold beer and a warm, warm heart
Life is a Festival (x3)
The Festival of Life
Life is a Festival (x3)
The Festival of Life
