This Thing Called Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, six strings, three chords, ah, 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 When I needed a call, He was the real friend Oh, He got the words when I'm feeling low 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 [Pre-Chorus] You know it's only love (It's only love) So, let's come together (Let's come together) A little redemptive pleasure, ooh-hoo [Chorus] Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try again, ooh, let's try Let's try [Verse 2] 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 floated down rivers And the papers get lost, yeah In the sea, in the oceans, Lord, I'm a giver [Pre-Chorus] Oh, it's just a feeling, it's just a feeling It's just a feeling, it's just a feeling, oh [Chorus] Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try it, ooh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try it, ooh, let's try Let's try, let's try [Verse 3] You gotta learn to swim against the tide You gotta learn to drop your foolish pride You gotta learn these things are only dust You gotta learn this deal is only rust You gotta learn the chains can open up Environment can fuck you up You gotta learn that drugs don't really work Unless you know the ones that hurt [Pre-Chorus] Oh, babe, let's do it again I wanna put the record on and live it again I wanna rewind the tape, turn off the clocks This is my life, undo these locks [Chorus] Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life Let's do it again, oh, let's try Let's try again, ooh, let's try Let's try [Bridge] She's my brother, my mother My sister, my mother, my father, oh She's my brother, my sister (Free me now, free me) My father, my mother, oh (Please hear me now) Come on [Chorus] Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try it, ooh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life Let's do it again, oh, let's try Let's try it, ooh, let's try Let's try Let's do this thing called life When you feel the pain, oh, let's try Let's try it again, oh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life Let's do this thing, oh, let's try Let's try again, ooh, let's try, let's try Let's do this thing called life
