I met a girl whose heart was on the right hand side

And upon the left an angel did reside


They told her mother that she never would survive


But she kept the rhythm and is still alive, she's still alive




And we must all have the will to live


Oh, you got to have the will to live

Oh, the will, oh, the will


The will to live




Then I met a man who had to walk with his hands


Born into a world he couldn't stand


Blessed with life but cursed as a man

Still he walks taller than most of us can





And we must all have the will to live

Oh, you got to have the will to live


Oh, the will, oh, the will


The will to live




Some are born with more and some born with less


So don't take for granted the life we've been blessed

It's hard to understand that we're only a guest


And each one of us shall be put to life's test, oh, life's test




And we must all have the will to live


Oh, you got to have the will to live


Oh, the will, oh, the will

The will to live





Oh, the will, oh, the will to live

Oh, the will to live
