You could be walking down the street one day and forget to look the other way.
Suddenly everything you ever had comes within 2 inches of a taxi cab.
There comes a time when you gotta ask yourself,
"Where am I going? What have I done?"
Are you living the life that you always dreamed of?
Giving your time to the ones who make you smile?
Making your world worthwhile?
Are you living the life?
Are you making the most of the chance you're given or just barely getting by?
Give it your best try. Are you living the life?
The government lawyer in the pinstripe suit has got a corner office making all kinds of loot.
He just decided he's had enough one day.
He pulls off his tie and he walks away
Everybody's got their little voice.
And the dreams we had as girls and boys.
Are you living the life that you always dreamed of?
Giving your time to the ones who make you smile?
Making your world worthwhile?
Are you living the life?
Are you taking the orders you've been given or breaking the rules with your own decisions?
Isn't it time you tried? Are you living the life?
Who made all these rules anyway?
Oh...they play us for fools.
Some of us break free. When you grow up what will you be?
Are you living the life that you always dreamed of?
Giving your time to the ones who make you smile?
Making your world worthwhile?
Are you taking the orders you've been given or breaking the rules with your own decisions?
Isn't it time we tried? Are we living the life?
Are we living the life? Yeah....
