Live It and Love It

He had had enough, he said,

And then one day he did it.

Oh yeah, he jumped out of bed

And suddenly admitted

That he had been wasting his days.

He chose to color in the grays.

And then he made up his mind

To live his life...

To live it, live it, live it, live it, yeah.

He finally said it's time

To love his life...

To love it, love it, love it, love it, yeah.

She had had enough, she said.

"I'm done with giving up now;

I've been half-alive, half-dead."

She changed her outlook somehow.

Goodbye, self-effacing defeat;

So long, depressing, lonely street.

And then she made up her mind

To live her life...

To live, live it, live it, live it, yeah.

She finally said it's time

To love her life...

To love it, love it, love it, love it, yeah.

I was headed in the wrong direction,

But I didn't even know it.

Hope said, "Dave, relinquish your dejection;

Love your life and start to show it."

And then I made up my mind

To live my life...

To live, live it, live it, live it, yeah.

I finally said it's time

To love my life...

To love it, love it, love it, love it, yeah.
