This Thing Called Life

Oh, six strings

Three chords

And big dreams

And he don't let me down

When the days of rain came

He was there for me when I was in pain

Yeah, I needed a call, he was the refrain

Oh, he got the words when I'm feeling low

He like a skimming stone, like a rainbow

He's my brother when I'm down, when I'm in luck

He's my brother when I'm down and I'm out of luck

You know it's only love

So let's come together (Let's come together)

A little redemptive pleasure (Redemptive pleasure)

Let's do this thing called life (Let's do this thing)

Oh, let's try (Let's try again)

Oh, let's try (Let's try)

Let's do this thing called life (Let's do this thing)

Mmm, let's try (Let's try again)

Ooh, let's try (Let's try)

Don't have to swim with the tide

Swim against the tide and find some hand to hold

Find somebody to show the light

Oh, they're out there in the matrix tonight

Oh, man, I've seen so many pages of

Stories that have drifted down rivers

And the paper, yeah, gets lost in the sea, in the ocean

So, Lord, I'm a giver

Woah, it's just a feeling (It's just a feeling)

It's just a feeling (It's just a feeling)

Let's do this thing called life (Let's do this thing called life)

Oh, let's try (Let's try again)

Oh, let's try

Let's do this thing called life (Let's do this thing)

Mmm, let's try (Let's try again)

Ooh, let's try (Let's try)

You gotta learn to swim against the tide

You gotta learn to drop your foolish pride

You gotta learn to know these things, they're dust

You gotta learn that this steel's only rust

You gotta learn that dreams can open up

Environment can fuck you up

You gotta learn that drugs don't really work

Unless you know the ones that hurt

Oh, babe, let's do it again

I wanna put the record on and live it again
