Life Reminds Us We're Alive Songtext
von Michael Franti & Spearhead

Nobody gets out pain free
Nobody doesn′t get lonely
I used to think that maybe
I was the only one, I was the only one
But nobody doesn't get a broken heart
And nobody doesn′t need a brand-new start
Everybody's been on a shoulder cryin' drunk on Saturday night

That′s how life reminds us we′re alive
That's how life reminds us we′re alive
That's how life reminds us we′re alive
'Cause everybody′s born with a big, big dream
That you make and you break 'til your heart stops beatin'
That′s how life reminds us we′re alive


Nobody finds a perfect lover
No magic in a four-leaf clover
But even through the stormy weather
I'll be the one for you, I′ll be the one for you
'Cause nobody doesn′t need a friend to believe them
And nobody doesn't have a friend who leaves them
So, say a prayer for all who dare to love on Saturday night

And that′s how life reminds us we're alive
That's how life reminds us we′re alive
That′s how life reminds us we're alive
′Cause everybody's born with a big, big dream
That you make and you break ′til your heart stops beatin'
That′s how life reminds us

To take the big hits when you feel them
Your hearts wide open for all the big feelin's
Take the big hits when you feel them
Your hearts wide open for all the big feelin's

So, raise a glass to the friends you believe in
And then raise a glass to the ones who′s leavin′
And raise a glass for no freakin' reason, out on Saturday night

That′s how life reminds us we're alive
That′s how life reminds us we're alive
That′s how life reminds us we're alive
That's how life reminds us we′re alive
That′s how life reminds us we're alive
That′s how life reminds us we're alive


′Cause everybody's born with a big, big dream
That you make and you break ′til your heart stops beatin'
That's how life reminds us we′re alive
