Sometimes this old world
Can turn you upside down
Leave you standing in the cold
With no one else around
It can bring you to your knees
Make you call upon the man
Make him promises that you can't keep
As the flesh wins again
I'm just an ordinary man
I don't know everything
But this I know
You got to live
Cause there's a better tomorrow
You got to love
It ain't always filled with sorrow
You got to laugh
Cause so many need to hear it
You got to dance
Like you're dancing in the spirit
I'm just an ordinary man
I don't know everything
But this I know
You got to live
Take it from me
I've been right there where you are
With that gun up to my head
Thinking hell can't be this hard
So as this world pulls against you
Just remember this one thing
There's someone right beside you
The creator of all things
He ain't no ordinary man
And he knows everything
This I know
You got to live
Cause there's a better tomorrow
You got to love
It ain't always filled with sorrow
You got to laugh
Cause so many need to hear it
You got to dance
Like you're dancing in the spirit
He's an extraordinary man
And he knows everything
This I know
You got to live
You got to love
You got to laugh, you got to dance
You got to live
You got to love
You got to laugh, you got to dance
You got to live
You got to love
You got to laugh, you got to dance
But you got to live
You got to live
You got to live
You got to live
