Heavy steps, but a will that won’t break
Life tosses stones, it’s our chance to remake
[Verse 2]
We juggle laughter, catch tears in our hands
In scripted sorrows, off-book, we make stands
Irony in triumphs, in falls some find flight
Spinning our tales into the night
Hope carries us, we rise, we fall
In life’s strange play, we stand tall
[Pre-Chorus]
We thread the needle, patch up dreams
Pulling at life's tattered seams
Wearing sorrow with such grace
A masquerade behind the face
Arms outstretched to skies turned gray
Our smiles wide as if to say
[Verse 1]
It’s the joy within that keeps us whole
A mirthful heart, the greatest goal
Through the ache, we find our lore
In every pang, our spirits soar
We find the strength we hold inside
Carry on, despite despair, dance with shadows in the air
With every step, we’re more aware
That through the struggle, we dare
To laugh at life’s unending jest
In every trial, we find our zest
[Chorus]
Bearing pains, a heavy sack, life’s tale of the laughable
Isn’t life deplorable? I feel that life's deplorable
You lift the weight, the world’s not fair, the load’s unbearable
You strive for dreams, just like a climb, the peak looks unobtainable
Once you're flying, wings spread wide, then comes the fall inevitable
Isn't life theatrical? I think that life's theatrical
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing through the tears, it’s the game we play
Jesters in this royal mess every single day
Curtains rise on scenes absurd, on this grand world stage
Roles of grit and grace we alternate
[Chorus]
Bearing pains, a heavy sack, life’s tale of the farcical
Isn’t life remarkable? I feel that life's remarkable
[Chorus]
Toiling soil, our humble track, sowing seeds in soils survivable
Isn't life botanical? I reckon life's botanical
You dig the dirt, the sun's glare back, growing hopes so undeniable
You bloom in love, a garden's prime, then comes the frost, unstoppable
Isn't life cyclical? I believe that life's cyclical
