Life is Beautiful

A glance behind, when I was young
The world was small, the games were strong
On fields and streets, with fearless tone
We had our rules, and hearts of gold

We fought, forgave, and learned to see
With moral codes, our legacy

Life is beautiful – oh, life is beautiful
We’ve learned along the way – and life is beautiful
The compass shining clear – wherever we may steer
Life, life, life is beautiful

The youth began, the fire burned
First love arrived, the wheel had turned
An old car built with pride and hands
The stadium roared, the singing fans

We loved, we laughed, we played our part
With burning fire inside the heart

Life is beautiful – oh, life is beautiful
We’ve learned along the way – and life is beautiful
The compass shining clear – wherever we may steer
Life, life, life is beautiful

We stumbled but we never broke
We shook the dust, embraced the hope
Laughed through the pain, rewrote the way
Full power on, come what may

And then the autumn comes to stay
The hourglass runs fast away
But no regret, no bitter cry
For something lasts when we say goodbye

Life is beautiful – oh, life is beautiful
We’ve learned along the way – and life is beautiful
The compass shining clear – wherever we may steer
Life, life, life is beautiful
Yes, life, life, life is beautiful
