Oh, six strings, three chords, ah big dreams
|
And he don't let me down (he never)
|
When the days of rain came (he was there)
|
He was there for me when I was in pain (in pain)
|
Yeah I needed a call, he was the real friend
|
Oh (got his words), he got the words when I'm feeling low
|
He's like a skimming stone, like a rainbow
|
He's my brother when I'm down when I'm in luck (he is)
|
He's my brother when I'm down (Jesus Christ) and I'm out of luck
|
You know it's only love so let's come together (let's come together)
|
A little redemptive pleasure (redemptive pleasure), hmmm-hmmmm
|
|
Let's do this thing called life, (let's do this thing)
|
Oh let's try, (let's try again)
|
Oh let's try (let's try)
|
Let's do this thing called life (let's do this thing)
|
Hmm let's try (let's try again, let's try again)
|
Oh let's try (let's try)
|
|
Don't have to swim with the tide (fishes)
|
Swim against the tide and find some hand to hold
|
Find somebody to show the light (lost in music)
|
Oh they're out there in the matrix tonight (All these years)
|
Oh man I've seen so many pages of stories (the blues never ends)
|
That have drifted down rivers
|
And the paper, yeah gets lost in the sea, in the oceans
|
Oh Lord I'm a giver
|
Oh, it's just a feeling (it's just a feeling)
|
It's just a feeling (it's just a feeling)
|
|
Let's do this thing called life, (let's do this thing called life)
|
Oh let's try, (let's try again)
|
Oh let's try (let's try)
|
Let's do this thing called life, (let's do this thing)
|
Hmm let's try, (let's try again, let's try again)
|
Oh let's try (let's try)
|
|
You gotta learn to swim against the tide
|
You gotta learn to drop your foolish pride
|
You gotta learn to know these things they're dust
|
You gotta learn that misdeeds only rust.
|
You gotta learn the chains can open up (these genes survive)
|
And environment can fuck you up (the eyes)
|
You gotta learn that drugs don't really work (more music)
|
Unless you know the ones that hurt
|
Oh babe let's do it again (please baby)
|
I wanna put the record on and live it again (live it again)
|
I wanna rewind the tape, turn off the clocks
|
This is life now, undo my locks
|
|
Let's do this thing called life, (let's do this thing)
|
Oh let's try, (let's try it again)
|
Oh let's try (oh-oh oh-oh let's try)
|
Let's do this thing called life, (I now you feel the pain)
|
Oh let's try, (I know you feel the strain)
|
Oh let's try (let's fly)
|
She's my brother, my mother, my sister, my mother, my father, ooh-ooh-aah
|
She's my brother, my sister, my father, my father, my mother, o-ooh-ooh
|
(Free me now, please free me now, please hear me now)
|

|
|
Let's do this thing called life, (yeah)
|
Oh let's try, oh let's try (let's try)
|
(She's my brother, my mother, my sister, my mother, my father, my mother)
|
Let's do this thing called life, oh let's try
|
Oooh let's try (let's try again, let's try again)

|
Free me, yeah free me again, oh heal me again, free me, yeah heal me
|
Yeah free me, baby heal me, now free me, now heal me baby
|

|
Now free me, now heal me, now free me, now heal me, now free me, yeah heal me
