Life is a song worth singing Why don't you sing it Life is a song worth singing Why don't you sing it You hold the key in the palm of your hand use it Don't blame your life on the master plan change it Only you generate the power to decide what to do with your life You're a fool if you think your helpless you control what you do with your life Life is a song worth singing Why don't you sing it Life is a song worth singing Why don't you sing it You don't like the way your living to bad You can't change your life because it's out of your hand so sad So you sit on your pants and holler 'Cause the world ain't been treating you right Don't you know you contain the power to control destiny with your mind
