I'm not one to back down
But I know what it's like to fall
Got a lotta get up and fight now
But I hit my knees when I got that call
Do you know what it's like
To look your demons in the eye?
Do you know what it's like
To tell your beautiful wife
That the man that she loved
The fabric of her life, is breakin' down?
But I don't ask, "Why me?"
I just say, "Why not?"
Take all that I've been given
And turn it into livin'
For somebody else
'Cause I know that I'm loved
I can say that it's enough
To try to learn
To give love in return
To everyone you meet
Yeah, I say, "Life is sweet
There's a right and a wrong way
There's a cost for every goal
There's a light down the hallway
In that bedroom sleeps the most precious soul
Do you know what it's like
To watch your sleeping child?
Feel her heart beneath your hands
Like a hummingbird wild
And though you do all you can
To go the extra mile
To watch her grow
You don't ask, "Why me?"
You just say, "Why not?"
Take all that I've been given
And turn it into livin'
For somebody else
'Cause now I know that I'm loved
And I can say that it's enough
To try to learn
To give love in return
To everyone we meet
And I say, "Life is sweet"
There are monsters that hide in the darkness
When we are alone
Ooh, but we follow the light
Every best way, we find our way home
I don't ask, "Why me?" (why me?)
I just say, "Why not?" (why not?)
Take all that I've been given (given)
And turn it into livin' (livin')
For somebody else (somebody else)
'Cause I know that I'm loved (I'm loved)
I can say that it's enough
I try my best to learn (to learn)
To give love in return
To everyone we meet
Yeah, I say, "Life is sweet" (life is sweet)
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
