Life Gotta Mean Something
Lyrics: Li Dongbo
Composition: Li Dongbo
Stone say to the river “hey man why you always roll”
River say “can’t help it that’s the way I keep my soul ”
River turn ‘round ask the stone “why you never move at all”
Stone just grin and mumble “home’s my rise and fall ”
They say—life gotta mean somethin’(oh Lord who told you so)
They say—life gotta mean somethin’(mm-hmm but I don’t know…)
Joy ain’t got no label love ain’t got no key
If you feel it better chase it let your spirit be free
Sun say to the moon “baby why you hide yo’face”
Moon say “I’m scared o’fire dark is my restin’place ”
Moon say to the sun “why you burnin’all night long”
Sun just laugh and holler “fire’s the only song ”
They say—life gotta mean somethin’(hey now who wrote that rule)
They say—life gotta mean somethin’(but that law don’t make me fool)
Happy ain’t no duty freedom don’t cost a dime
If you want it Lord you take it—don’t you waste yo’time
Flower don’t be bloomin’just to prove it’s sweet
Sunrise don’t come risin’just to warm yo’feet
Ain’t no high ain’t no low
Ain’t no winner in this show…
They say—life gotta mean somethin’(ain’t no preacher gonna tell me…)
They say—life gotta mean somethin’(but I’m walkin’wild and free…)
Joy ain’t got no reason love don’t need no key
If you dream it Lord you do it—set yo’spirit free…
Yeah free…oh set it free…
