lyrics

Thought about you, words of poetry
The way that you mean everything that you say
The way that I know you'll be going away
But you still come around
Riddles and rhymes, thieves in the night
Take what you can from me
What I need can't be taken from me
Isn't this life, isn't it grand, isn't it just insane
Yes, you are my truest of friends
Even though you won't be there for me
You take a part of yourself and you give it away
You taught me how this is true
Oh life, life is beautiful
A man climbed a telephone wire
In the middle of town today
He'd seen it all, he'd lived through too much
He had no desire to come down again
They say they don't know if it was on purpose
But I believe that it goes without saying
And I wonder what his last words had been
We speak for a moment
She'd said that she'd known him
She asked did she do all that she could
Well I think we both knew the answer
We both knew that we never do that
You pass me by, you don't look in my eye
And you might not believe that it's true
But I, I would be there for you
So isn't this life, isn't it grand
Oh isn't it just insane
They say that you don't know what true beauty is
Until you've felt such pain
I saw him slip into the abyss, and I felt I was free from my chains
Oh life, life is beautiful
A mother of a child, a teacher in a school
Revolution leader, a drunken fool
Jesus Christ, maybe me, maybe you
Well I feel so small and so hopeful too
One day at a time, well it's all we can do
But our purpose is nothing minuscule
And life, life is beautiful
