This is Life

[Intro] [Short Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I wake up in the morning, it's gray outside, News weighs on my mind, like a heavy tide. Youth caught in the spin, every turn, Blind to the truth, no lessons learned. [Chorus] Go with the flow? Dead fish float downstream, Living fish swim upstream, chasing dreams. Victory’s the aim, not a whirlpool of pain, Rise above, break the chains, let love reign. [Verse 2] Old man on the corner, begging for alms, Clothes worn out, eyes sunk, life’s qualms. He was once bright, full of dreams and schemes, Lost in the current, caught in life’s streams. [Chorus] [Bridge] Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada; false reflections, Love and compassion, the true connections. Trample for power, but it’s all in vain, Happiness is free, not wrapped in chains. [Chorus] [Outro] Stop chasing shadows, open your eyes, Life’s simple joys, where true happiness lies. Children’s laughter, a dog’s wagging tail, Cherish the moments, let love prevail. [Fade to End]
