Sly & The Family Stone – Life lyrics
Life
Life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down

Life
Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live

You might get angry sometimes
But don't let it turn you around
All you gotta do
Is get your livin' now

Life
Life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down

Life
Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live

You might be scared of somethin' - look at mr stewart
He's the only person he has to fear
He'd only let himself get near
He don't trust nobody
If he stopped bein' so shady
He could have a nice young lady

Life
Life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down

Life
Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live

You're gonna be sad sometimes
You might wake up to find your pet is gone
But maybe
He's tired of bein' alone
Dog gets hip, it has to go
And if you're lovin' you can't be sad no more

Life
Life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down

Life
Life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
