Mama called me up in the morning
She said make the most of your time
And papa called me up as the sun set saying take your time life's got a while to give
But a little birdie told me
The sun might not rise tomorrow
And I heard through the grape vine
That life is not a song
So explain to me mama I think I've got this life thing wrong
And explain to me papa why life's a moving on
Oo
Oo
Oo
Oo
The sun set black and white the other evening
It said find the fire inside
And the moon forgot to shine as the night fell saying learn to shine your own light
Cuz a little birdie told them
The sun might not rise tomorrow
And I heard through the grapevine that life is not a song
So explain to me mama cuz I think I've got this life thing wrong
And explain to me papa, why life's a moving on
Oo
Oo
Oo
Oo
