A Brighter Life - Acoustic

Born in a stable or a hospital ward
We're all on our own after cutting the cord
And forward we pour
All you can do is keep playing the game
While your searching for meaning like looking for

Grains of gold on the beach in the dark
So be like the sparks from the fire
As they twist in the breeze and then die, up in the sky

Live a brighter life and then say goodbye

Nobody asked you if you wanted life
But you're still here trying hard to survive
Racing with rats
So hats off to you, you're a unique machine
Of blood and desire and emotional needs

That hold the seeds of the things that you do
Good, mad or totally insane it's all you
And whatever you do make it count, make it shine
So when you get off at the end of the line
You leave something behind

And if you believe this is it
And you're not coming back for a resit
Then what the hell is there to lose?
Just put on your dancing shoes

Princes and paupers, servants and Queens
We're all made the same we all crap in latrines
If you get what I mean
Nobody's better than anyone else
We're judged by the things that we do with our wealth
Keep it all to yourself
Or give of it freely to those that have lack
Your time and your patience
Your love and your backbone, give it a whack
And not just at Christmas or at Children In Need
The more that you give then the more you receive

I know it sounds strange but just
Change one thing at a time
Make the best of the gifts that you've got
Why not?

Live a brighter life and then say goodbye
Live a brighter life and then say goodbye
