I see the ripple on the water
I watch it move to the edges of the lake
I sense the time is holding its breath
Waiting for calm to return
It's better to bend than to break
It's better to give than to take
It's better to live one day at a time
And it's better to love than to hate
I offer limited protection
Every hour the burden increases
I feel no magic, the miracles are few
It's harder to lose than to win
It's harder to fight than give in
It's harder to live each day as your last,
than to dream of what life can be.
Nature is the only true law.
She does nothing in vain.
How long can we expect to survive
It's better to bend than to break
It's better to give than to take
It's better to live one day at a time
It's better to love than to hate
It's harder to lose than to win
It's harder to fight than give in
It's harder to live, each day is a mess,
to dream of what life could be
I see the ripple on the water
It's better to bend than to break
It's better to give than to take
It's better to live one day at a time
And it's better to love than to hate.
