How does it feel to be alive?
Living a death-defying dive?
How do you feel about the world?
Sometimes amazingly absurd?
Could a proud man ever take advice
And face the Sun with open eyes?
How does it feel to be in love?
Is pain the word you're thinking of?
How does it feel to lose it all?
Sometimes you're king, sometimes you fall
Could a blind man ever see the light
And face the Sun and realize?

Life could be black, life could be blue
Life could be old, life could be new
You can't go back and change the truth
Life could be old, life could be new
It's only up to you

How does it feel when you've done right?
And does it help you sleep at night?
How do you live with your mistakes?
I hope they're keeping you awake
Can't you ever, ever take advice
And take the blame once and realize?

Life could be black, life could be blue
Life could be old, life could be new
You can't go back and change the truth
Life could be old, life could be new
Life could be old, life could be new
It's only up to you
It's only up to you
