Surviving the life
Got some highs, got some lows
But the wise man,

He knows what it's really about
When you're doin' without
Surviving the life


Providing the soul,
It ain't easy to do

When you got to get through
Any way that you can
Join the family of man

Providing the soul

Pass the plate that serves it

Every heart deserves it
You and me, we do


Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad
Sing the song that tells it,
Praise the man that sells it

You're alive,
You might as well be glad


Revealing the heart,
You know that some people try
But it's hard to get by

Without giving a thing
You only get what you bring,
Revealing the heart


Pass the plate that serves it,
Every heart deserves it

You and me, we do
Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad


Sing the song that tells it
Praise the man that sells it
You're alive, you might as well be glad


Providing the soul,
Revealing the heart,

Surviving the life
