Oh Father, it's me your friend
I feel so good inside, I'm on the mend
I broke this fever, it's a cryin' shame
We live and die, and then we live again!

This life is beautiful
This life is magical
This life is built on trust
And I just want to get on the bus

Why do I have to work so hard?

I've been livin' for this life
Livin' for this life

Oh Mother, thank you for my life
You've always been right there by my side
Just like the footprints in the sand
You make me see, you make me understand

Thank you for the morning sun
The crystal lake, another dawn
The mountain high, the valley low
The river wide, the falling snow
The happiness you gave to me
The love you give so endlessly
And you will live inside of me
Now I'm the proudest son you see!
