This Thing Called Life Songtext / Lyric

(Free me, free me)

Oh, six strings, three chords, ah, big dreams

(Free me, free me)



And He don't let me down when the days of rain came

He was there for me when I was in pain

Yeah, I needed a call, He was the real friend



Oh, He got the words when I'm feeling low

He's like a skimming stone, like a rainbow

He's my brother when I'm down, when I'm in luck

(He is)

He's my brother when I'm down and I'm out of luck

(Jesus Christ)



You know it's only love

So let's come together

A little redemptive pleasure, mmm, hmm



Let's do this thing called life

Oh, let's try, oh, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Hmm, let's try, ooh, let's try






Don't have to swim with the tide

Swim against the tide and find some hand to hold

Find somebody to show the light

Oh, they're out there in the matrix tonight



Oh, man, I've seen so many pages

Of stories that have drifted down rivers

And the paper, yeah, gets lost

In the sea, in the oceans, oh, Lord, I'm a giver



Whoa, it's just a feeling

It's just a feeling



Let's do this thing called life

Oh, let's try, oh, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Hmm, let's try, ooh, let's try



You gotta learn to swim against the tide

You gotta learn to drop your foolish pride

You gotta learn to know these things, they're dust

You gotta learn that misdeeds only rust



You gotta learn the chains can open up

And environment can fuck you up

You gotta learn that drugs don't really work

Unless you know the ones that hurt



Oh, babe, let's do it again

I wanna put the record on and live it again

I wanna rewind the tape, turn off the clocks

This is life, now undo my locks



Let's do this thing called life

Oh, let's try, oh, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Oh, let's try, oh, let's try



She's my brother, my mother

My sister, my mother, my father, oh, yeah

She's my brother, my sister

(Free me now, free me)

My father, my mother, oh

(Please hear me now)



Come on, let's do this thing called life

Oh, let's try, oh, let's try

Let's do this thing called life

Oh, let's try, ooh, let's try



Now free me, now heal me

Now free me, now heal me

Now free me, now heal me
