This is your life

Live it your own way

This is your life

Live it your own way

I lived part of my life

Being scared of my dreams

Everytime someone asks

What I'm shooting for in life

I would hide my true feelings

And when I spoke up to my friends

They made fun of my dreams

So then times got too rough

I would think back on one thing

My momma would say to me

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

My momma would say

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

Forces of evil struck back and forth

Throughout my younger days

Because I would listen

And care what other people would say

Like a four letter word

I ignored that whole world

And built my own tiny world with respect

But it took time to relate

What my momma would say time after time again she said

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

My momma would say

This is your life

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

My momma would say

This is your life

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

It's gonna be that way

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

My momma would say

This is your life

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

My momma would say

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

It's gonna be that way

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

This is your life

You got to live it your own way

This is your life
