Living life can be so testing
Sometimes it’s just too much to bear
Now and then it seems so hopeless
Makes me feel I couldn’t give a care
But a look outside your own world
Can make you see another side
Other people with their problems
Everybody trying to hide
They say there’s always someone
Suffering more than you
It might be true but it doesn’t stop you
Feeling the way you do
Nobody seems to care
They’re self-consumed anyway
At least that’s the way it seems
What is it you want them to say?
CHORUS:
So hold your head up
It’s not so bad
Just take a look around
And don’t waste any time being sad
Life’s what you make it
So make it good
And just give what you’ve got
Give the world all that you think you could
When people join together
It makes the world a better place
We’re really all one people
Members of the human race
So look out for one another
Offer out your hand in love
You’ll receive for what you give
Cos all you really need is love
(CHORUS)
People dying
Hate everywhere
Children starving
Nothing to wear
People murdered
Because they were there
This is our world
Why don’t we care
Life’s what yo make it
Help someone out
Life’s what you make it
Stand up and shout
Life’s what you make it
Before you die
Life’s what you make it
Don’t live a lie
La, la, la, la, la la, la, la …..
(REPEAT VERSE 3 + CHORUS)
