  • [Chorus]
    Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
    It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
    It can shake ya,it can make ya
    It can bring ya to the brink

    But I'm learning to time myself
    Turn it easy over
    Put some spice back on the shelf

    Like elevator buttons go on and on
    Doors that open and shut without a cause
    There's something greater than I dare to know
    Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
    And watch it go

    Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
    It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe
    It can shake ya, it can make ya
    The struggle hard and deep
    Of what I learn to keep along the way everyday
    Little one, I take your hand
    And wonder how I'm gonna help ya be a man
    And how I'll help ya understand

    [Chorus]

    Two steps forward, one step back
    Cover my mouth, choke
    And pull down my hat

    Into the seamless hope of an endless drive
    Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
    White washing down trodden people
    They're displayed like a grand masquerade
    Making us feel better that we are brave

    Like letters that fade into dust
    Like harmony, kindness and trust
    Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
    Peace, peace in, peace out
    That's right, what's it all about?
    Huh?

    [x4]
    Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
    It can bring ya to the brink of lyfe

    Along the way
    Everyday, lyfe Writer/s: CYNDI LAUPER, M. GREENE, R. FIFE, S. MERENDINO
