Secret Of Life lyrics

"The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There ain't nothing to it

Nobody knows how we got to

The top of the hill

But since we're on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart

It's okay to feel afraid

But don't let that stand in your way

'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road

And since we're only here for a while

Might as well show some style

Give us a smile now

Isn't it a lovely ride

Sliding down

And gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time

Isn't really real

It's all on your point of view

How does it feel for you

Einstein said that he could never understand it all

Planets spinning through space

The smile upon your face

Welcome to the human race

Isn't that a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Isn't that a lovely ride

Oh mama yes

See me sliding down

And gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time"
