I sing this song, I sing it out
I drum, I jump, I dance and shout
Hey, who of you joins in, who's in the mood?
Come, cook and eat, discuss the days
and break the silence with hoorays
it will be fun together as it should
That's what life is, That's what life is,
That's what life is, That's what life is
.....You want it all, you think you might
.....succeed, why, isn't it your right?
.....So, on the chosen path you chase ahead
.....but life goes on and bounces back
.....it traps you in a dead end track
.....(and there the order will be shed)
If only I could pull the strings
and not were short of many things
for everything I wanted to pass on
I learn a lot, it does not stop
my wisdom is among the top
but I'm retired, my influence is gone
.....There is a human need to touch
.....so do love him and her as much
.....and growing old you may learn to play
.....You do your best, you are a friend
.....but good things also have their end
.....(and loved ones also pass away)
