Life Is Sweet

I'm not one to back down
 But I know what it's like to fall
 Got a lotta get up and fight now
 But I hit my knees when I got that call
 Do you know what it's like
 To look your demons in the eye?
 Do you know what it's like
 To tell your beautiful wife
 That the man that she loved
 The fabric of her life, is breakin' down?
 But I don't ask, "Why me?"
 I just say, "Why not?"
 Take all that I've been given
 And turn it into livin'
 For somebody else
 'Cause I know that I'm loved
 I can say that it's enough
 To try to learn
 To give love in return
 To everyone you meet
 Yeah, I say, "Life is sweet
 There's a right and a wrong way
 There's a cost for every goal
 There's a light down the hallway
 In that bedroom sleeps the most precious soul
 Do you know what it's like
 To watch your sleeping child?
 Feel her heart beneath your hands
 Like a hummingbird wild
 And though you do all you can
 To go the extra mile
 To watch her grow
 You don't ask, "Why me?"
 You just say, "Why not?"
 Take all that I've been given
 And turn it into livin'
 For somebody else
 'Cause now I know that I'm loved
 And I can say that it's enough
 To try to learn
 To give love in return
 To everyone we meet
 And I say, "Life is sweet"
 There are monsters that hide in the darkness
 When we are alone
 Ooh, but we follow the light
 Every best way, we find our way home
 I don't ask, "Why me?" (why me?)
 I just say, "Why not?" (why not?)
 Take all that I've been given (given)
 And turn it into livin' (livin')
 For somebody else (somebody else)
 'Cause I know that I'm loved (I'm loved)
 I can say that it's enough
 I try my best to learn (to learn)
 To give love in return
 To everyone we meet
 Yeah, I say, "Life is sweet" (life is sweet)
 Life is sweet
 Life is sweet
 Life is sweet
