C Est La Vie

They say "c'est la vie" with a pat on a shoulder
Do they know what you need? Or am I getting older?
So much I remember, yesterday just surrendered
Those words "just let it be"
And you say, say, say

"Don't you take my dreams away"
That you'll change, change, change
That you'll change the world but tomorrow, but tomorrow

Who said "c'est la vie" to the little toy soldier?
How hard can it be? Even when it gets colder
Take a walk on the water, take a walk on the moon
Who said "just let it sleep"?

And you say, say, say "Don't you take my dreams away"
That you'll change, change, change
That you'll change the world but tomorrow, but tomorrow

And so many chances can pass you by
Maybe just a matter of trying
Cause, there ain't no mistaking how time goes by
Some say remember
Some say forget
Some say it matters
Some just regret

But I say, say, say
I won't your take your dreams away
And you'll change, change, change
And you'll change the world by tomorrow
Change the world by tomorrow
By tomorrow you gonna change the world
You gonna change the world
