Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya

It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe

It can shake ya,it can make ya

It can bring ya to the brink



But i'm learning to time myself

Turn it easy over

Put some spice back on the shelf



Like elevator buttons go on and on

Doors that open and shut without a cause

There's something greater than i dare to know

Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater

And watch it go



Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya

It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe

It can shake ya, it can make ya...

The struggle hard and deep

Of what i learn to keep along the way everyday

Little one, i take your hand

And wonder how i'm gonna help ya be a man...

And how i'll help ya understand...



Lyfe it can shake ya,it could make ya

It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe

It can shake ya, it can make ya

It can bring ya to the brink



Two steps forward, one step back

Cover my mouth, choke

And pull down my hat



Into the seamless hope of an endless drive

Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride

White washing down trodden people

They're displayed like a grand masquerade

Making us feel better that we are brave>



Like letters that fade into dust

Like harmony, kindness and trust

Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me

Peace, peace in, peace out

That's right, what 's it all about?

Huh?



Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya

It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe

It can bring ya to the bring...of lyfe

Along the way

Everyday, lyfe
