I stole the outside

Runnin' into the sun

I 'm alive

I'm loud, as a golden gun

I killed my pride 

So once again I'd see



Live and learn 

You've fallen, one thousand times

I feel the burn

There's fire from a crazy sky

I sealed concern

So once again I'd be



[Chorus]

And it lifts you up

Then it puts you down

And it feeds you life

Then it lets you drown

While it holds your heart

Then it slowly tears you apart

And you know - that life is what I mean



If I could (and if I could)

You know, I'd stand on the rock

Where Jesus stood (where Jesus stood)

Innocence, and evil bad

And good (good, and good)

Walkin' side by side



[Chorus]

And it lifts you up

Then it puts you down

Then it feeds you life

Then it lets you drown

While it holds your heart

And it slowly tears you apart

And you know, you know, you know - life is what I mean



We got a way, of makin' up our minds (you know we have our minds)

How could I run, just leave it all behind?

When it breaks me up inside

Still I refuse to hide

And it is, just what it is

And that's all right



[Chorus]

And it lifts you up

Then it puts you down

And it feeds you life

Then it lets you drown

While it holds your heart

And it slowly tears you apart

And you know, you know, you know



[Chorus]

Then it lifts you up 

Then it puts you down

Then it feeds you life

Then it lets you drown

While it holds your heart

And it slowly tears you apart

And you know, you know, you know - life is what I mean



And you know, you know, you know - life is what I mean

And you know, you know, and you know - life is what I mean
