From the recording Life Is Great and Life Is Hard

Lyrics

Life is Great and Life is Hard 

Life is great and life is hard
I read that someplace on a store bought card
Experience tells me that it’s true
But I knew that just livin’ here with you
Life is hard, life goes round
Life is up, life is down
It makes me smile, it makes me cry
It turns my head in circles, has me wonderin’ why

Life is fine, life is good
Why else would we bother if we knew we could
Fly, fly away, put away the hard times for some other day
I’m elated, I’m frustrated, 
Perpetually changing like a summer sky
It’s a new day, it’s a sun ray, there’s a storm out
That’s got me twisted up inside

And when I have to re-arrange my head so it won’t hurt
I think of all the times and ones I’ve loved
I crawl inside my heart and look in every corner
I have fewer reasons to fall apart

Life is fine, Life is good 
Why else would we bother if we knew we could
Fly, fly away
Life is good today, oh yeah,
Life is good today, oh boy,
Life is good, it’s good today
Life is good, today
