Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life's a show
And we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts
[Verse 2]
It's alright
If some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along
[Verse 3]
Where there's life, there's hope
Every day's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
So hard all day
[Verse 4]
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world
Don't give me songs
Don't give me songs
[Verse 5]
Give me something to sing about
I need something to sing about
[Verse 6]
Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse
[Verse 7]
Still my friends
Don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for
[Verse 8]
All the joy life sends
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well that depends
[Verse 9]
On if they let you go
On if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd
[Verse 10]
There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of heaven
[Verse 11]
So that's my refrain
I live in hell
'Cause I've been expelled
From heaven
I think I was in heaven
[Verse 12]
So give me something to sing about
Please give me something
[Verse 13]
Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this
It's living
[Verse 14]
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal
By living
[Verse 15]
You have to go on living
So one of us is living
