Verse 1
(Single Strum)
Keep Ya Chin Up Mate, There's A Lot To Do
Plenty Of Shit Like This Is Gonna Happen To You
You Gotta Harden Ya Shell It's A Part Of Life
One Day You'll Have Some Kids And A Beautiful Wife (Reggae Rhythm Starts Here)
And When She Smiles At You, You'll Do All You Can
To Keep It Together. Do Your Absolute Best
Sometimes, It Won't Be Enough. And That's Just Life
Verse 2
I Know You've Got Some Troubles, Stemming From Your Old Man,
But He Probably Did His Best With The Tools That He Had
And If It Wasn't Enough. It Is What It Is
You Can Try To Do Better When Ya Raise Your Own Kids
The Emptiness You're Feeling Deep Down Inside
May Never Go Away At Least It's Gonna Take Time
Ya Gotta Learn Where To Put It, It's A Part Of Life
Don't Let It Wreak Havoc On The Rest Of Your Time
You Were Raised In A Culture, Says "She'll Be Right, Mate"
You Gotta Push It All Down Inside And Shut The Bloody Gate
Sometimes, It's Gonna Be Tough But That's Just Life
Verse 3
Go Out There And Get It Do What Ya Can
Hang Out With Some Hippies Maybe Get Yourself A Van
Strip Away The Layers, Expand Your Mind
Identify Ya Weaknesses, Take That Time
But Don't Lose Yourself Or Become Obsessed
With Your Own Healing Journey And Sacrifice The Rest
'Cause There's People That Love Ya Outside Of Your Mind
And All We Really Have Is That Gift Of Time
Verse 4
By Now Those Boys Have Forgotten Your Face
And I'll Never Understand Why You'd Want It That Way
Kids Are Only Kids For A Very Short Time
From There They'll Keep You Guessing If They'll Want You In Their Life
If You've Made Mistakes Don't Make 'Em Twice
Be Sure To Fight To Keep The Little People By Your Side
So Many Stories Through History Of People Who Use
Unimaginable Circumstances Turn 'Em Into Fuel
Good Luck Little Mate Have A Good Crack
Keep Ya Head Down, Ya Bum Up And Don't Look Back
Do A Bit Of Running Or Surfing Just Might
Help To Clear The Head In Those Times Of Strife
Bridge
(Single Strum)
But There's One More Thing To Say Before I Go
And I Know It's Been Said Before And It's Widely Known
But Love Truly Is The Answer It's A Part Of Life
It Can Heal The Deepest Wounds And Keep Us Inspired (Reggae Rhythm Starts Here)
Is Karma Real? Nobody Knows
But There's Just One More Little Thing I'd Like To Say Before I Go
Take Good Care Of The Planet, Treat It With Respect
It Will Be There For Your Family When You're Dead
Chorus
And It's A Part Of Life
It's A Part Of Life
And It's A Part Of Life
It's A Part Of Life
Interlude
Spoken word by Jane Goodall
"I Want To Make Sure That You All Understand
That Each And Every One Of You
Has A Role To Play...
And You Are Here For A Reason
I Want You To Know
That Whether Or Not You Find That Role That You're Supposed To Play
Your Life Does Matter
And That Every Single Day You Live
You Make A Difference
We Are Part Of The Natural World
And Even Today When The Planet Is Dark
There Still Is Hope
Don't Lose Hope."
Chorus
And It's A Part Of Life
Spoken word by Jane Goodall
"I Just Hope That You Understand
That This Life On Planet Earth Isn't The End
I Believe, And Now I Know, That There Is Life Beyond Death
That Consciousness Survives...
I Can't Tell You What You Will Find
When You Leave Planet Earth...
But I Want You To Know
That Your Life On Planet Earth
Will Make Some Difference
In The Kind Of Life That You Find After You Die
We Are Part Of Mother Nature
We Have To Do Everything In Our Power
To Make The World A Better Place
For The Children Alive Today
And For Those That Will Follow
You Have It In Your Power To Make A Difference
Don't Give Up
Do Your Best
While You're Still On This Beautiful Planet Earth"
