THIS IS YOUR LIFE
Out Of Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why you sittin' at home, waiting for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to hand your dreams to you
You know you got to keep it movin'
If you don't get up then you'll be losin'
Don't deny, do you think it's gonna fall out the sky
Nothing's really happenin' and you're wondering why
How are you going to make it if you never try
Nobody said it was gonna be easy, but you gotta do what you gotta do
Put on your best foot and step forward knowin' that God will see you through
So when you get tired and you feel a little faint
Know somebody's watchin' you and will help you on your way
This is your life
God knows what it's meant to be
Know you've got a destiny, time is now so won't you see
This is your life
No more waiting to begin, take your chance & know you'll win
You can make it in this thing called life
Somebody said you'll never make it & that's the thought you're keeping
Don't let that be the reason why you're sleepin'
Time is of the essence & you better believe, that you can do anything
So get up, get up, follow your dreams
Don't you dare give up, no matter how hard it seems
You only get it once, getting by is not enough
So take a chance and live this life
Hey yeah, get up now
Hey yeah
(Oooh) I know you don't like the way things teem to be
But you can change it all so easily
Trust that God has got a plan for You to go




The way, you know, you should
So you can make it if you just believe
