This is life

[Verse 1] Sun comes in the window Paint on the old wood floor Kettle hums in the kitchen Keys in the ceramic bowl Small hands, big questions Big dreams in a small-town frame I keep the door cracked open So the whole wide world can name me [Pre-Chorus] One day you’re laughing Next day you’re learning One day you’re leaving Next day you’re turning [Chorus] This is life, this is life Hold on tight, hold on tight Here and gone, then back again This is life, this is life (this is life) This is life, this is life Love it hard, let it sting In the dust and the light This is life, this is life [Verse 2] Monday comes in muddy boots Friday wears a better shirt Some hearts leave with the last train Some stay close and do the work I have folded up the heartbreak I have worn the joy like skin Every scar tells where I’ve been Every laugh pulls me back in [Pre-Chorus] One day you’re falling Next day you’re learning One day you’re losing Next day you’re burning [Chorus] This is life, this is life Hold on tight, hold on tight Here and gone, then back again This is life, this is life (this is life) This is life, this is life Love it hard, let it sting In the dust and the light This is life, this is life [Bridge] And when the night gets heavy I count the names I know The ones who held my pieces The ones who let me grow No map for the whole road Just a heart that keeps on Taking the hit And singing along [Chorus] This is life, this is life Hold on tight, hold on tight Here and gone, then back again This is life, this is life (this is life) This is life, this is life Love it hard, let it sting In the dust and the light This is life, this is life
