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
