lyrics

And when you struggle through the muddle living every day
And when you fumble your words in public, don’t know what to say
When you stumble, when you crumble, when you tumble down
Then you wonder if all the trouble, is it worth carrying on?

When all that you say is lost in the haze
And drifts off so crazily
When all that you touch turns to ashes and rust
Will you put your trust in me?

Live a little, laugh a little, share a little sun
Give a lot, expect a lot from everyone
The world is full of those who pull the wool over your eyes
You must resist, you must insist, never compromise

When all that you say is lost in the haze
And drifts off so crazily
When all that you touch turns to ashes and rust
Will you put your trust in me?

Seize every opportunity that you find
Seize every minute and then leave it behind
Gone are the days when your parents could mind
What you do with your quality time
