I've been told, and I believe 
Life is meant for living 
Even when my spirit's low 
There's still some room for giving 
I've been many places 
Maybe not as far as you 
So I think I'll stay awhile 
And see if my dreams come true 
There isn't much that I have learned 
In all my foolish years 
Except that life keeps running in cycles 
First there's laughter, then there's tears 
But I'll keep my head up high 
Although I'm kind a weary 
The way the world is going today 
It all seems kind a scary 
But you know it's almost funny 
Things can't get much worse than now 
So I'll keep on trying to sing 
But please just don't ask me now
