You and me, our life is drifting along
Watching the world as it's singing its song.
High above, someone is calling to me
Life is for living and living is free.

You to me, are like the sun in the sky
See how you fly, you have wings of your own.
You and me, our love will last without end
Ride with the wind, won't you follow me home.

Turn around and see the circles we spin
and we're taking our chances on where we begin.
Up above, the rain is falling on me
Life is for living and living is free.

You to me, are like the sun in the sky
See how you fly, you have wings of your own.
You and me, our love will last without end
Ride with the wind, won't you follow me home.

Taking up time trying to write a line 'till the break of day
Given a sign can you make it rhyme tell me what to say
Making it fine can you ease my mind help me drift away.

Turn around and see the circles we spin
takin' our chances on where we begin.
Up above, the rain is falling on me
Life is for living and living is free.

You to me, are like the sun in the sky
See how you fly, you have wings of your own.
You and me, our love will last without end
Ride with the wind, won't you follow me home

Now I never meant to do you wrong
that's what I came here to say
but if I was wrong, then I'm sorry
I don't let it stand in our way

'cos my head just aches
when I think of
the things that I shouldn't have done
but life is for living, we all know
and I dont wanna live it alone

sing ah
sing ah
and you sing ah

See: Vive La Vida (Life is for Living) Same song.

Vive La Vida (Life is for Living)

In this world there is so much anger
Our lives are in danger
We are all living in fears
We’ve got to stop the tears

Chorus: Life is for living
So why must we wait
We all need some loving
So then why do we hate?

In South Africa things are still the same
The face of humanity still hasn’t changed
People have to fight to live together
And share with one another

Chorus

We can change this to a better place for all
If we listen to others when they call
Give a shoulder to lean on when they fall
Let us bring down the apartheid wall

Innocent people pay with their lives
Cause the truth, it cuts like a knife
Mandela’s life is wasted in jail
Raise your voices for freedom

Chorus ( 3 X)
