Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rainy days and razor blades
I think it's time to pull up the shades
It's wonderful to be alive
[Verse 2]
Hurricanes and headlines
Standing in another line
It's wonderful to be alive
And everything is gonna be alright
[PreChorus]
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em push you around
We're gonna take back the night
Everything's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Share your bread with friends you don't know
Hold the truth and never let go
Don't give up and go with what you know's for real
[Verse 3]
Que sera and c'est la vie
Everyday's a jubilee
And it's wonderful to be alive
[Verse 4]
Open roads and traffic lights
You're the last soul in sight
And it's wonderful to be alive
And everything is gonna be alright
[PreChorus]
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em push you around
We're gonna take back the night
Everything's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Share your bread with friends you don't know
Hold the truth and never let go
Don't give up and go with what you know's for real
[Chorus]
Better days are looking up the road
Don't give up and go with what you know
Hold the truth and leave the rest as not for real
[Bridge]
Screaming out for love
Rise above the shame
Shouting out for love
Rise above
And don't give up yourself
[Outro]
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
