Life is a Beautiful Thing

You plant a rose
And if the rose comes up
You're thankful to God
And when it doesn't you cuss him
You raise a child
And when the child grows up
You got to learn to let go
If you can't learn to love him

Now I'm not saying only bad news comes
For the people who want it to
But you gotta play that music for who's listening
You got to have someone you wanna sing it to

Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset
Through the windows of a store and I want it
Anyway, if I ever felt haunted
You were there for me
These angry people who are waiting to judge you
Have their own judgement that they'll have to live up to
Open your mouth
And if nothing will come through
Remember
You're the one that sings
And it's a gift
And life's a beautiful thing
Oh, don't waste it, doll

You build a house and if the house comes up
You gotta work on that house
Want to make it your home
'Cause everything inside that's not something you own
Is what you're taking with you
On the day that you go

And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Oh, hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
And I do
