I was born with tears in my eyes
Like everybody else I know
Kicking and screaming

And all I could see was a light in a world so cold

No-one to hold you, feels so lonely

Left out on your own
But we were born with tears in our eyes
And that's how we learned the strength to fight


It's a beautiful life
Well, you won't always see it that way

When you're deep in a hole
With nowhere to go
And you can't see it change

(It's a beautiful life)
Cause it's just out of sight
It's a beautiful life


You're scared, got the fear every day
Sounds like everybody else I know

Takes a hole in the ground
Or the sky falling down
Before we can let it show


If you're just like me
You're trying to believe

That it's all gonna work out fine
We can live with the doubt
We're trying to do without

Maybe we don't have to fight

It's a beautiful life

Well, you won't always see it that way
When you're deep in a hole with nowhere to go
And you can't see it change

(It's a beautiful life)
Cause it's just out of sight
It's a beautiful life


I tried so hard to keep hanging on
Well maybe you should just let it go

Let the hope in your heart break the fall

Come on now sing with me

It's a beautiful life
Well, you won't always see it that way
When you're deep in a hole with nowhere to go

And you can't see it change
(It's a beautiful life)
Cause it's just out of sight

It's a beautiful life

(It's a beautiful life)
