Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've all heard so many conflicting words
In our life, whether wrong or right
You gotta be working hard
And it ain't no easy job
To survive, just keep alive
[Verse 2]
We've all come to think of ourselves links in a chain
So much to gain
We are the ones, the ta-ha fathers to our sons
Don't you know, that's how we grow
[Verse 3]
What my life really means
Is that the songs that I sing
Are just pieces of a dream that I've been building
And we can make a stand
And hey, I'm reaching out my hand
'Cause I know damn well, we can if we are willing
[Verse 4]
But we gotta be
We gotta be willing
Gotta be willing
Gotta be willing
[Verse 5]
Well, we've all been so close together
And it's always nice
With no sacrifice
But times have changed
And it is no longer strange
To make a few corrections, another direction
'Cause being strong is more than just holding on
To advance, you gotta take a chance
To wait your whole life, it ain't nothing but working time
You won't get nowhere just standing there
[Verse 6]
What my life really means
Is that the songs that I sing
Are just pieces of a dream I've been building
And we can make a stand
And hey, I'm reaching out my hand
'Cause I know damn well, we can if we are willing
[Verse 7]
But we gotta be
We gotta be willing
Gotta be willing
Gotta be willing
[Verse 8]
We've all heard so many conflicting words
Of our life, whether wrong or right
Of how you gotta be working hard
And it ain't no easy job
To survive, just keep alive
We've all come to think of ourselves links in a chain
So much to gain
We are the ones, the ta-ha fathers to our sons
Don't you know, that's how we grow
[Verse 9]
What my life really means
Is that the songs that I sing
Are just pieces of a dream that I've been building
And we can make a stand
And hey, I'm reaching out my hand
'Cause I know damn well, we can if we are willing
[Verse 10]
But we gotta be
Gotta be willing
Gotta be willing
Gotta be willing
