Enough excuses - get up, get out and live!

lyrics

If Life Was

If life was a hill, would you go ‘round it?
If life was a pill, would you get high?
If life was in your bath now, would you drown it?
If life got in your face, would you black its eye?

Get your head out of the sand, get on with living
Get out, tune up the band and sing out loud
Get your head out of the sand, get on with living
Get up, dust yourself down and stand up proud

Chorus
Don’t sit in the shade, you could be shining
Don’t stand on the ground when you could fly
Don’t live your life forever thinking ‘what if?’
Don’t take your dying breath wondering ‘why?’

If life was a £10 note, ah would you grab it?
If life was a friend in need, would you pass it by?
If life was juicy gossip, would you blab it?
If life was a hungry baby, would you let it cry?

If life was a big old wave, would you ride it?
If life was the summer sun, would you shade your eyes?
If life was yours by right, would you be denied it?
If life was yours to live, would you be surprised?
