Song For The Life lyrics 
 
Well, I don't drink as much as I used to 
 Lately it just ain't my style 
 And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to 
 They pass quickly like when I was a child 
 [CHORUS] 
 And somehow I've learned how to listen 
 For a sound like the sun going down 
 And the magic the morning is bringing 
 There's a song for the life I have found 
 It keeps my feet on the ground 
 And the midsummer days sit so heavy 
 But don't they flow like the breeze through your mind 
 When nothing appears in a hurry 
 To make up for someone's lost time 
 [REPEAT CHORUS] 
 And somehow I've learned how to listen 
 For a sound like the breeze dying down 
 And the magic the morning is bringing 
 There's a song for the friend I have found 
 She keeps my feet on the ground 
 She keeps my feet on the ground...
