Lyrics:
Verse 1
Say life’s hard and then you die
Don’t let it punch you in the eye
You gotta laugh, no use to cry
Cause cryin’s just a losing game
For every bad, there’s many a good
It just depends on how you look
You’re the chef and you’re the cook
So hear that little voice say
Chorus
Wasn’t that a thrill, life’s just a game
Don’t take it hard and you’ll stay sane
Go for the ride and be glad you came
And make every single moment count
Verse 2
Now if you’re lucky you get 15 of fame
People stop you, remember your name
Enjoy the spotlight, it ain’t no shame
Take it while its yours to hold
And if you’re not, well join the crowd
Livin’ in fear dyin’ in doubt
A lifetime circus, a jester’s bout
You’re sitting in the very front row
Verse 3
Now here’s the purpose of this little song
Well life is short and we ain’t got too long
So make it count you won’t go wrong
The choice is often in your hands
As you look back from your rockin’ chair
A few more wrinkles some greyin’ hair
Look back on life without a care, remember you just gotta say
Chorus
And make every single moment count
