It?s my life and I?m takin? over now
It?s my life and it?s time that I learned how
No excuses. for the truth is
It?s my life now

I stumble and I fall
And I think about it all
Then I make amends
But it never ends
And I?ve just begun to wonder why
And I listen to the songs,
And I read all the words,
And I seem to remember something that I heard
Of a fire and a cave and shadows on the wall

It?s my life and I?m takin? over now
It?s my life and it?s time that I learned how
No excuses. for the truth is
It?s my life now

I wanna believe in the miracles
But they mix me up. then they pass the cup
And I?ve just begun to look the other way
And I don?t want to lean on the stars or on the dreams
On the fantasies or the deities
Don?t I think it?s time to lean on me?

It?s my life and I?m takin? over now
It?s my life and it?s time that I learned how
No excuses. for the truth is
It?s my life now

No excuses. for the truth is
It?s my life now
