This Thing Called Life

Oh, six strings, three chords, ah, big dreams

And He don't let me down when the days of rain came

He was there for me when I was in pain

When I needed a call, He was the real friend

Oh, He got the words when I'm feeling low

Like a skimming stone, like a rainbow

He's my brother when I'm down, when I'm in luck

He's my brother when I'm down and I'm out of luck

You know it's only love (It's only love)

So, let's come together (Let's come together)

A little redemptive pleasure, ooh-hoo

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try again, ooh, let's try

Let's try

Don't have to swim with the tide

Swim against the tide and find some hand to hold

Find somebody to show the light

Oh, they're out there in the matrix tonight

Oh, man, I've seen so many pages

Of stories that have floated down rivers

And the papers get lost, yeah

In the sea, in the oceans, Lord, I'm a giver

Oh, it's just a feeling, it's just a feeling

It's just a feeling, it's just a feeling, oh

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try it, ooh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try it, ooh, let's try

Let's try, let's try

You gotta learn to swim against the tide

You gotta learn to drop your foolish pride

You gotta learn these things are only dust

You gotta learn this deal is only rust

You gotta learn the chains can open up

Environment can fuck you up

You gotta learn that drugs don't really work

Unless you know the ones that hurt

Oh, babe, let's do it again

I wanna put the record on and live it again

I wanna rewind the tape, turn off the clocks

This is my life, undo these locks

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do it again, oh, let's try

Let's try again, ooh, let's try

Let's try

She's my brother, my mother

My sister, my mother, my father, oh

She's my brother, my sister (Free me now, free me)

My father, my mother, oh (Please hear me now)

Come on

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try it, ooh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do it again, oh, let's try

Let's try it, ooh, let's try

Let's try

Let's do this thing called life

When you feel the pain, oh, let's try

Let's try it again, oh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Let's do this thing, oh, let's try

Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try

Let's do this thing called life
