Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong (true)
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong (seen)
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong
Got to remain strong even if your feeling weak
Theres always a way even if the outlooks bleak
Verse 1
Is this where he’s meant to be
Everyday he pretends to be
Someone just to make ends meet
but not fulfilling his destiny
All the while he’s
Stuck doing some thing
For some one that hates him
Feels like his souls suffocated
Finding it hard to take
Cant break out da mould
Coz the sail s’been sold
Told to spend hours of living
Every pound he is given
Get a house with a kitchen
Get a spouse and some children
Allowed to a limit
But he found he was missing
The sound of the rhythm
Now he’s out on a mission
To fulfil his day dreams
Instead of aiming to please
Slaving for p’s
He doesn’t know the way
Or even have the means
He’s taking the leap bcoz he’s seen that
Chorus B
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong (true)
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong (seen)
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong
Got to remain strong even if your feeling weak
Theres always a way even if the outlooks bleak
Verse 2
Thats how it was when he took a new way
Had to smile every time he see Tuesday
New attitude even with a battered suit
But he kept his passion true then landed on his standing two
Got serious about the images he see in his dreams
Then realised limits are what he appeared to believe
Fear and greed had him lumbered
But the seed of creation fed his hunger
No longer
persuaded
by all the flashy trapping’s
The who are or the has beens
Do da or the gassing
Or the news that lips are wagging
He moved to make it happen
Stood up he needed standing
Flew over then he landed
Took the good that he was handed
And then he gave back
To those on the way who gave way back
Paved is the way and so may he enter
Coz every day he makes sure to remember that
Chorus C
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong (true)
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong (seen)
Life’s to short to be going on long
If you are then you’re going on wrong
Got to remain strong even if your feeling weak
Theres always a way even if the outlooks bleak
