For they told you life is hard Misery from the start, It’s dull, it’s slow, it’s painful But I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There’s so much more, be grateful So, who will you believe Who will you listen to Who will it be ‘Cause it’s high time that you decide It’s time to make up your own Your own state of mind Oh they told you life is long Be thankful when it’s done Don’t ask for more, be grateful But I tell you life is short Be thankful because Before you know it It will be over ‘Cause life is sweet, life is also very short
