[edit] Lyrics
Anybody can be sad, you can’t always see the good when it goes bad Then you end up blue and through but that’s alright got my share of people who love me Got my share of problems that bug me Every now and then it’s hard but that’s alright How many times hare we been here before? When you’re walking down the street Feel the rhythm in your feet Of a life that’s rushing by Are you glad to be alive? Nothing ever goes as planned Get your head out of your hands Scream and shout like you were five Are you glad to be alive? Sometimes you gotta sneak out the back door You can’t always get what you ask for But what you need you got inside And that’s alright How many times have we been here before? So pick your sorry ass up off the floor When you’re walking down the street Feel the rhythm in your feet Of a life that’s rushing by Are you glad to be alive? Nothing ever goes as planned Get your head out of your hands Scream and shout like you were five Are you glad to be alive? So that’s my story ‘Tis sad but true For those who know me What else are we to do? When you’re walking down the street Feel the rhythm in your feet Of a life that’s rushing by Are you glad to be alive? Nothing ever goes as planned Get your head out of your hands Scream and shout like you were five Are you glad to be alive?
