iving in this world can be a little too much
Don't let it get you down, get up and strut
If you ever get the chance, hold your hand out and take it
Make a promise to yourself, don't you break it

Oh, I tried to get up when I was upside down
Got to find a way to turn my life around

This is the time for us to get a life
Open your mind to a better life
There's no way of knowing where you're going
Get a life, a better life

Go out of your way and make a compromise
Alter your dreams and you will realize
If you don't understand it, don't take it for granted
Open your mind to a better life

Let's turn up the heat, start a ripple in the water
Wake the soul from its sleep, no particular order
You'd be wasting precious time, free your mind, are you willing?
Don't be afraid, do your dance and start living

I've got a vision in mind, I'm doing my time
I'm living my life 'cause I've opened my mind

This is the time for us to get a life
Open your mind to a better life
There's no way of knowing where you're going
Get a life, a better life
Go out of your way and make a compromise
Alter your dreams and you will realize
If you don't understand it, don't take it for granted

There's no way of knowing where you're going
This is the time for us to get a life

This is the time for us to get a life
Open your mind to a better life
There's no way of knowing where you're going
Get a life, a better life
Go out of your way and make a compromise
Alter your dreams and you will realize
If you don't understand it, don't take it for granted

This is the time to get a life
(This is the time) to get a life
(This is the time)
This is the time for us to get a life
