This Is Your Life

This is your life

Live it your own way

This is your life

Live it your own way

I lived part of my life being scared of my dreams

Every time someone asked what I'm shooting for in life

I would hide my true feelings

And when I spoke up to my friends, they made fun of my dreams

So when times got too rough, I would think back on one thing

My mama would say to me

("This is your life)

Yeah, you got to (Live it your own way")

Mama would say ("This is your life)

You got to (Live it your own way")

Forces of evil struck back and forth

Throughout my young days, ooh yeah

Because I would listen

And care what other people would say

Like a four-letter word I ignored the whole world

And built my own tiny world with respect

But it took time to relate what my mama would say

Time after time again, she said

("This is your life)

You got to (Live it your own way")

My mama would say ("This is your life)

This is your life, you got to (Live it your own way")

It's gotta be that way (This is your life)

(Live it your own way)

Mama used to say ("This is your life)

This is your life, you got to live (Live it your own way")

(This is your life)

You got to (Live it your own way)

My mama would say ("This is your life)

This is your life, girl (Live it your own way")

It's gotta be that way (This is your life)

Ooh, you got to live (Live it your own way)

You got to (This is your life)

Gotta live your life for the best now (Live it your own way)

(This is your life)
