Channel 1
Less Than Jake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know, you see
somehow the world will change for me
and be so wonderful
Live life, breathe air
I know somehow it's gonna get there
and feel so wonderful
It's all for real
I'm telling you just how I feel

So wake up the members of my nation
it's your time to be
there's no chance unless you take one every time
to see the brighter side of every situation
somethings are meant to be
Leave it all to me
leave it all to me




leave it all to me
just leave it all to me
