Surviving the life
Got some highs got some lows
But the wise man knows what it's really about
When you're doing without
Surviving the life
Providing the soul
It ain't easy to do
When you've got to get through
Any way that you can
Join the familial man
Providing the soul
Pass the plate that serves it
Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do
Life ain't easy (no, no)
But it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it
Raise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be, man
Revealing the heart
You know that some people try
But it's hard gettin' by without
Leaving a thing
You only get what you bring
Revealing the heart
Pass the plate that serves it
Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do
Life ain't easy
But it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it
Raise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be, man
Providing the soul
Beginning the whole
Surviving the life
Surviving the life...
(Ahhhhhh, yeah.......................)
