This Is Life

I came across a photograph
That reminded me of how we used to laugh
I'm looking now through different eyes
At all I took for granted, won't someone tell me why?

You got to lose it to know how much it's worth
We're only given so much time upon this earth

This is life, this is very precious life
Don't go throwing it away
This is life, everybody's got the right
Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace

I call your name, but you're not there
Tell me why the world goes on when it's not fair
And how a broken heart survives
Oh, I might be letting go now, but I'll never say goodbye

I am stronger now with every breath I take
This isn't just another careless twist of fate, no

This is life, this is very precious life
Don't go throwing it away
This is life, everybody's got the right
Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace

You got to lose it to know how much it's worth
We're only given so much time upon this earth

This is life, this is very precious life
Don't go throwing it away
This is life, everybody's got the right
Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace

This is life, this is very precious life
(Very precious life)
This is life, this is very precious
Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace
This is life
This is very precious (Got to hold on)
This is life (Hold on)
Hold on to it
This is very precious
This is life (Very precious life, got to hold on)
This is very precious
This is life
This is very precious
