 Intro. - - -

 1. This is my life, this is my time

  show me the light and I go there.

  Give me the wine, bitter and sweet,

  and a little bit of bread, that's all I need.

 Chor. No, I don't want the gold from Xanadu

  I think I leave it all to you, wow wow wow

  this is my life and I don't care.

 2. This is my street, wow wow wow, are you restless feet

  carry me on to anywhere.

  Take the fear, oh take the fear, take it away, please take it away

  and leave me some hope for one more day.

 Chor. I saw a ghost behind the door

  when the kids were coming home from the war, wow wow wow

  with broken dreams and nothing more.

  I heard a woman, singing her song

  and it was good, and warm and strong, wow wow wow

  She made me cry, I don't know why.

 Solo. - - - - - - -

 Chor. I don't want to bring you down

  I declare it's good to be here, wow wow wow

  this is my life and I don't care.
