When you were small, life was like a wonderland Nothing is real and you think you understand The sky is blue and the grass is always green There's black and white and there's nothing in between Some people say that religion is the way And peace of mind guaranteed you every day When growing up wasn't as easy as it seemed Reality is disfiguring in your dreams Hide in your shell till it's safe to show your face Don't let them see you got egg upon your face The dealer deals and the wheel begins to spin The winners lose and the losers win Life on Earth (life on earth) Life on Earth (life on earth) Life on Earth (life on earth) Life on Earth Through misty eyes, adolescence was a game You found it hard just remembering your name They never said you would have to compromise They bought and sold you before you realised You live and learn and you find maturity You trim your mast and you set yourself for sea Triumph or failure will look you in the eye They'll come and go everyday you are alive Love is a stranger, a shadow passing by It's got its lows, and its middles and its highs There'll come a time when they'll put you in the ground Just leave a soul in the Lost and Found Life on Earth (life on earth) Life on Earth (life on earth) Life on Earth (life on earth) Life on Earth
