Life Is - Al Jarreau

They’re sayin' stick the script

But there’s more to the book, somehow

Yellin' on the corner just a waste of time

They can never know the truth in that frame of mind

Come spark the track with your gift

God bless your grits bring it on now

Cause you know there’s much more to the script

Try to lift your spirits to the very tip

And…

Life is

Worth much more to me

Than you could maybe never ever see

See Life is

Worth much more to me

Than you could ever…

The other day I was afraid of being hypnotized

By so many people whose dreams won’t begin to be realized

But I came to know

The lessons they were told wasn’t really so

But they kept tellin' me

Do all the things we do and you’ll be good to go

See.

You ain’t really drivin' as long as you ridin'

With those who would steal your soul

You’ve been crippled to pieces so dig what they preach

And don’t come with that hit no more

I’m down for the cause I mean takin' a pause

Really live for the time we’re given

Baby, can’t you hear the drum?

Now listen hear it comes

It speaks of a life that’s worth living
