lyrics

It’s true what they say, Jack’s a dull boy,
All work and no play, he’s getting annoyed.
Been chasing a dream, a life well spent,
Someday he’s gonna wonder where the time all went.

When the struggle is real and you’re down on your knees,
Live in the moment, see the forest for the trees.
It’s the distractions that make it all worthwhile,
You’ve got to breathe awhile.

The ship won’t run aground just because you’re not around,
You don’t need to make an excuse.
And if you wanna stay, get out of the way,
Put a chair up on the deck and just enjoy the cruise.

What have you got when the dealing is done?
When it’s time for counting, what have you won?
You can’t take it with you, so don’t be misled,
He who dies with the most toys, ain’t nothing but dead.

When the struggle is real and you’re down on your knees,
Live in the moment, see the forest for the trees.
It’s the distractions that make it all worthwhile,
You’ve got to breathe awhile.

If it’s been too long, then sing your favorite song,
Even if it feels a little strange.
There isn’t any shame if it doesn’t sound the same,
The classics never die, they just get rearranged.

When the struggle is real and you’re down on your knees,
Live in the moment, see the forest for the trees.
It’s the distractions that make it all worthwhile,
You’ve got to breathe awhile.

Life is for living, so give it all you got,
Even Jack can do it, there isn’t nothing to it,
You’ve got to breathe awhile.
