This Is Life [Merry Christmas] lyrics

Things could get so bad, I know, but

Things could always be worse

There's a blessing tucked inside

Of each and every curse

You could be a selfish fool, but

Somehow not be selfish enough

Your glass could be half-full

But you've already drank way too much

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

This is life, this is life

Oh, how humor, you burst the bubble of

All our hidden pain

Oh, how humor, you clever mother, you're keeping

Everybody sane

Oh, how laughter, you make us bastards

Feel some kind of joy

Like a golden token, we find we're not broken

Like some cheap little toys

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

Time is so fleeting, I hope that you're reading

Everything in between the lines

Life can have meaning, if you keep dreaming

All the way through the days and the nights

I saw you cry a little, in the middle

Of a story you once told

You're a thing of beauty, and we're all rooting

For you not to fold

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
