The Life Songtext
von Jonah Smith

I don′t know how long it's going to be
We play out our hand and wait and see
We stay unattached because we′re ready to leave
And we ask our families to believe, for just a little while

But it's a lonely life for the likes of us
We live for something we feel but can't touch
And we live hand to mouth and don′t ever complain
Because the feeling runs so deep we can′t even explain

And if you ask me about the life
I say follow your heart and don't think twice
And if you ask me for advice
I say, if you know deep in your heart you′re right
Then you know you're right

In the days we′re in disguise
We live ordinary lives
Working jobs and riding the bus
Thinking about last night the tune's still in our head
We′re gonna work it out and it's gonna be bad


We write our songs to spread the truth
To raise the roof
And our folks will come to understand
We're living for the love of the life, the music′s in demand
And we′re going to make it happen, if we take command

And if you ask me about the life
I say follow your heart and don't think twice
And if you ask me for advice
I say, if you know deep in your heart you′re right
Then you know you're right

We lay down each and every night
Meditate and hope for the proper insight
So the steps we take always move us ahead
You know they got to move us ahead, now

And if you ask me about the life
I say follow your heart and don′t think twice
And if you ask me for advice
I say, if you know deep in your heart you're right
Then you know you′re right
