Life: at it's best, you're doing fine But you're blind, it's china you hold As it breaks, suddenly it's clear Beautiful but transitory But we won't break easy, we won't give in to all unbearable pain We'll pull through, we won't crack, we'll endure and survive Oh, transitory Pain is as life itself Evanescent as it fades Ah, transitory! Life: all you've got, all was swept away Now you see what there is to miss Suddenly you're stronger than you thought As you know it's transitory 'Cause we won't break, survival is all we've got, and our unbearable grief We'll hold on and won't crack and we'll value all life Oh, transitory Pain is as life itself Evanescent as it fades
