Brace yourself
This is going to take every part of you
This is going to make God believe in you
And you believe in Him

Pace yourself
Eternity is not a fairy tale
The in between can be your heaven
Or just another day in hell

'Cause the road we walk is straight and narrow
And the times we have they're ours to borrow
So give a little understanding
This is life and it's hell if you only live

Calm yourself
The fear that's in your heart must surely die
You always say its hard and you don't know why
Well welcome to everybody else's life

And lift yourself
You're bigger when you're on your knees again
Just look above and look within
Don't look around its all just been

'Cause the road we walk is straight and narrow
The times we have they're ours to borrow
So give a little understanding
This is life and it's hell if you only live
Oh, give a little understanding
This is life and it's hell if you only live for yourself
