Get to living

People always coming up to me and asking
"What's your secret?"
"With all you do, your attitude
just seems to be so good
how do you keep it?"

Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try
to offer up a few words of advice.

You better get to living, giving.
Don't forget to throw in a little forgiving
and loving on the way.

You better get to knowing, showing
a little bit more concern about where you're going.

Here's a word unto the wise.
You better get to living.

I said you'd better get to living, giving
be willing and forgiving,
cause all healing has to start with you.

You better stop whining, pining.
Get your dreams in line
and then just shine, design, refine
'til they come true.

And you better get to living.

Your life's a wreck, your house is a mess
and your wardrobe way outdated.
All your plans just keep on falling through.

I'm no guru, but I'll tell you
this I know is true.

You better get to living, giving
a little more thought about being
a little more willing to make a better way.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Keep your chin up.

Just hang tough.

Then you'll get to living.

The day we're born we start to die,
don't waste one minute of this life.
Get to living.

Share your dreams and share your laughter.
Make some points for the great hereafter.

Better start caring.
Better start sharing.
Better start trying.
Better start smiling.

And you better get to living...
