Verse 1
Life is the thing that just happens to block you,
Not always bringing the things that you gain.
Life will go on and it’s not going to stop, look
It doesn't matter: the frost, wind or rain.

Verse 2
It happens to you while you’re making your plans now,
No matter who you are — wise man or fool...
It doesn’t care for our crowns or our brands, how
With us or without us it keeps its own rule!

Verse 3
Life is a feast for the ones who are living,
Blessed is the day when a baby is born...
Someone is greedy, just taking, not giving,
Someone is brave, someone's lazy and torn.

Verse 4
We only have to observe all the seasons,
Or set our watches as precise as can be,
Trusting its pace without looking for reasons,
Lagging behind what we’re trying to see…

Verse 5
We only have to shed tears of pure madness,
Out of the joy or the grief of our breath,
That we could ring in this glory and sadness,
In a short segment from birth until death.
