Life
Life, a new day is beginning
It’s time to start living
Come on, be happy
Life, starts with a feeling
It’s part of believing
In each other
Life, live it completely
Living is easy
If you find it
Time, come on in
I see you back again
Where you going now
I thought you’d know somehow
Life, it’s just what you make it
You can’t just take it
Without giving
You see now life
Life is within you
So live each day
And then you begin to
Live your life
Cause life is within you
Written and sung by Rick Nelson
Interesting to this Rick Nelson fan is that this version of the song is not the official version recorded on his album. The above was changed by him for his 1972 TV appearance and I find it to be more optimistic. https://youtu.be/dfplP6DIPTQ is the official recording and https://genius.com/Ricky-nelson-life-lyrics are the related words supposedly written as he was considering suicide.
