You better live your life, oh
You better live your life, oh
When all your fears aren't rolling the dice
When all your tears are the light of your eyes
When all your wish is to teach how to smile
And all the world seems to spin out of line
Well I was walking down a dark road
With my hands cold as if they were stones
And after a thousand miles I feel I'm getting close
To where we spent the most of our lives
To where we connected lips for the first time
To where I learned that life burns easy
As a candle in the night, oh
You better live your life, oh
You better live your life, oh
'Cause when the sun sets and rain's falling down
You have to fight even when you're alone
You better live your life, oh
When all your fears aren't rolling the dice
When all your tears are the light of your eyes
When all your wish is to teach how to smile
And all the world seems to spin out of line
And back to a time when we were like gold
Shining, glowing like waterfalls
And everything was even better than we thought
When you lose everything you got
When all that gold's now a bunch of rocks
You must get up, stand up and go through it all
(Through it all)
You better live your life, oh
You better live your life, oh
'Cause when the sun sets and rain's falling down
You have to fight even when you're alone
You better live your life, oh
And I don't care about the things that other people say
'Cause Bon Jovi taught me to be strong and always show my face
You better be yourself with all the good and all the bad
You have to be yourself no matter when, no matter what
Yeah, you must love everything that is surrounding you
You have to take care about the ones who love you
And just forget about the things killing this crazy world
You better, you better, you better, you better, you better
You better live your life
You better live your life
'Cause when the sun sets and rain's falling down
You have to fight even when you're alone
You better live your life, oh
You better live your life, oh
You better live your life, oh
'Cause when the sun sets and rain's falling down
You have to fight even when you're alone
You better live your life, oh
