lyrics

Life is so beautiful
We seem to forget about it
Keeping ourselves in misery
Believing what others think of you
I pray to the lord every day
Keeping me happy with what I’ve got
Cos’ I know somewhere in this world
Somebody would like to feel like me
I always give some love away
Through out this big universe
We all can do the same
To keep our spirit high

Keep our spirits higher...
When we come together...
