Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Changing her colors, she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fights the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and let live in love
[Verse 2]
One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned, now you're living
[Verse 3]
In the lifeline, we're moving
In the lifeline, we're walking
In the lifeline, we're throwing
So live and let live in love
[Verse 4]
Exchanging their letters, their exits begun
With deathless precision, he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
So live and let die in love
[Verse 5]
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving till you're living
[Verse 6]
In the lifeline, we're moving
In the lifeline, we're walking
In the lifeline, we're throwing
So live and let live in love
[Verse 7]
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving, now you're living
[Verse 8]
In the lifeline, we're moving
In the lifeline, we're walking
In the lifeline, we're throwing to you
[Verse 9]
So live and let live in love
Lifeline
In the lifeline, we're walking
In the lifeline, we're throwing
[Verse 10]
So live and let live in love
Lifeline
In the lifeline
In the lifeline
[Verse 11]
So live and let live in love
Lifeline
In the lifeline
In the lifeline
[Verse 12]
So live and let live in love
Lifeline
