From the recording ...
Lyrics
Some take life easy
Gliding through light and breezy
And they don't know or care
Why they’re alive
I remember some saying
While on earth we are playing
We can never know why
So believe what helps you to survive
Oh, at the time all I really knew was…
Somewhere somehow something told me
I could know the reason why
Somewhere somehow something told me
I should look around and try
My fortune cookie read
That someday I will be dead
So I should invest my life
In what will outlast it
Took all that I had
Oh yeah the good and the bad
And gave it back to the giver
All my eggs were in one basket
Oh, at the time all I really knew was…
Somewhere somehow something told me
I could know the reason why
Somewhere somehow something told me
I should look around and try
Then a part of me came alive
That I didn’t even know I had inside
No one told me this would happen
Oh, I feel good
Something like falling in love
Changed from a pigeon into a dove
I didn’t know that I could feel this good
Some take life easy
Gliding through light and breezy
And they don't know or care
Why they’re alive
I remember some saying
While on earth we are playing
We can never know why
So believe what helps you to survive
Oh, at the time all I really knew was…
Somewhere somehow something told me
I could know the reason why
Somewhere somehow something told me
I should look around and try
Somewhere somehow something told me
I could know the reason why
Somewhere somehow something told me
I should look around and try
Then a part of me came alive
That I didn’t even know I had inside
No one told me this would happen
Oh, I feel good
Something like falling in love
Changed from a pigeon into a dove
I didn’t know that I could feel this good
