Lyrics
It's My Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I stumble and I fall
And I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I've just begun to wonder why
And I listen to the songs,
And I read all the words,
And I seem to remember something that I heard
Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
I wanna believe in the miracles
But they mix me up. Then they pass the cup
And I've just begun to look the other way
And I don't want to lean on the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies or the deities
Don't I think it's time to lean on me?
It's my life and I'm takin' over now
It's my life and it's time that I learned how
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
No excuses. For the truth is
It's my life now
