Lyrics:
1. I'm not gonna wait, for the world to turn my way.
if I'm gonna learn I'm gonna have to make my own mistakes
every day I'm gonna reach for the sky
if I crash and burn somewhere along the way at least I know I tried.
Chorus: This is life
we are passengers on this ride
don't ever let a chance go by
get on board let it take you high
this is life
you have to take a risk and hold on tight there will be
no hand out on this ride this is life
2. when darkness falls shadows cast their doubts on me
the light to see has taken sight away from what I need.
so I pray
and everything is clearer than the morning, I wake up and then realise
I'm still alive after the falling.
(Chorus 3 times)

Lyrics:

1. I'm not gonna wait, for the world to turn my way.

if I'm gonna learn I'm gonna have to make my own mistakes

every day I'm gonna reach for the sky

if I crash and burn somewhere along the way at least I know I tried.

Chorus: This is life

we are passengers on this ride

don't ever let a chance go by

get on board let it take you high

this is life

you have to take a risk and hold on tight there will be

no hand out on this ride this is life

2. when darkness falls shadows cast their doubts on me

the light to see has taken sight away from what I need.

so I pray

and everything is clearer than the morning, I wake up and then realise

I'm still alive after the falling.

(Chorus 3 times)
