You shoot for the stars and settle for less
You're breaking your heart and making a mess

You wait for the Sun between the clouds
But you're pretty fond of looking down
I know that your life's not making sense
But you're wasting it worrying

Don't cry, don't wait, some things, they can never change
So cover your sadness in beautiful lies
Oh, oh, oh
I know these days ain't fun, but you gotta say
As hard as you hate it, oh, it's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

So count all your blessings and jump in the sea
Yeah, float around, take it in, take a swim, we got nowhere to be

And look for the Sun between the clouds
Try to get up before it gets you down
You know that your life's not making sense
Don't go wasting it worrying

Don't cry, don't wait, some things, they can never change
So cover your sadness in beautiful lies
Oh, oh, oh
I know these days ain't fun, but you gotta say
As hard as you hate it, oh, it's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

Don't cry, don't wait 'cause some things, they can never change
So cover your sadness in beautiful lies
Oh, oh, oh
I know these days ain't fun, but you gotta say
As hard as you hate it, oh, it's a wonderful life
It's a wonderful life
