This life that we're living, this life that is yours
It's like a one man band on a ninety-year tour
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you get roughed up and they take your shoes
But you are to blame for every chance you take
Rejoice in your triumphes; ignore your mistakes
Things might look bad, but they always improve
You have to start looking, if you want any proof
I've followed the church, it drove me out of my mind
If you stare hard enough even a candle could blind
So it may be time to eschew these vows
It seems that only love can save us now
Let's all choose to live this day today
Before our youth and our springtime is all frittered away
Because you can't choose the way you go
And the time and the place isn't yours to know
Never stop, and don't give in
Recall that love and sex are never a sin
Our praise to god! Let us all declare
That we're willing to take a chance
On this earthly prayer.
