Secret of Life

They want to know the secret of life
Well I know
Some things you gotta hold on to
some you got to let go

We spend our lives
figuring out when and when
then wind up trying and trying over again.

Like me, I've seen you stumbling down the very same road
I see you trippin on rocks
Wind up closing all the doors

I've seen your face shaded in black
Oh, looking tired and weary
fresh from the attack

But I know it's time to say goodbye
And I know it's just another lie
And I know there are no reasons why
This is just the secret of a life

So many times I have tried to face up to you
Oh then I get so scared and I forget what to do
Right then and right there I forget who I am
And all the demons that I thought that I put away
all come out again

But I know it's time to say goodbye
And I know it's just another lie
But I know there are no reasons why
This is just the secret of a...

...life
There are no secret answers
only hidden roads
the only thing I have figured out is
you've got to learn to reap what you sow

They wanna know the secret of life
well I know
It's what you choose to hide
what you sorta show

There are no hidden answers behind door number one
Only the will to get up
when there is nothing to be done

Secret of life....
