Secret O' Life

Nancy LaMott


The secret of life 
Is enjoying 
The passage of time
Any fool can do it 
There ain't 
Nothing to it
Nobody knows 
How we got 
To the top 
Of the hill
But since we're 
On our way down 
We might as well 
Enjoy the ride

The secret of love 
Is in opening up 
Your heart
It's okay 
To feel afraid 
But don't let it 
Stand in your way
Cause everyone knows 
That love 
Is the only road
And since 
We're only here 
Ffor a while 
We might as well 
Show some style

Give us a smile, now
Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down 
And gliding down
Try not to try too hard 
It's just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time 
Is that time 
Isn't really real
It's all 
On your point of view 
How does it feel to you
Einstein said 
That he could 
Never understand it all
The planets spinning 
Tthrough space 
The smile upon your face

Welcome to the human race
Isn't that a lovely ride
Sliding down 
And gliding down
Try not to try too hard 
It's just a lovely ride

Isn't that a lovely ride
Sliding down 
And gliding down
Try not to try too hard 
It's justs a lovely ride

Now the secret of life 
Is enjoying 
The passage of time
