Life Is Sweet

I'm not one to back down

But I know what it's like to fall

Got a lotta get up and fight now

But I hit my knees when I got that call

Do you know what it's like

To look your demons in the eye?

Do you know what it's like

To tell your beautiful wife

That the man that she loved

The fabric of her life, is breakin' down?

But I don't ask, "Why me?"

I just say, "Why not?"

Take all that I've been given

And turn it into livin'

For somebody else

'Cause I know that I'm loved

I can say that it's enough

To try to learn

To give love in return

To everyone you meet

Yeah, I say, "Life is sweet

There's a right and a wrong way

There's a cost for every goal

There's a light down the hallway

In that bedroom sleeps the most precious soul

Do you know what it's like

To watch your sleeping child?

Feel her heart beneath your hands

Like a hummingbird wild

And though you do all you can

To go the extra mile

To watch her grow

You don't ask, "Why me?"

You just say, "Why not?"

Take all that I've been given

And turn it into livin'

For somebody else

'Cause now I know that I'm loved

And I can say that it's enough

To try to learn

To give love in return

To everyone we meet

And I say, "Life is sweet"

There are monsters that hide in the darkness

When we are alone

Ooh, but we follow the light

Every best way, we find our way home

I don't ask, "Why me?" (why me?)

I just say, "Why not?" (why not?)

Take all that I've been given (given)

And turn it into livin' (livin')

For somebody else (somebody else)

'Cause I know that I'm loved (I'm loved)

I can say that it's enough
