about

lyrics

Life can be beautiful, life can be tough
Bad turns to worse just when you
Think you’ve had enough
The future look’d rosy when you welcomed the dawn
But remember ..
Life’s like lickin’ honey
Lickin’ honey off a thorn

Life can be beautiful, life can be wild
So look at the world
Through the eyes of a child
It’s gone in a moment so you'd better be warned
Don’t surrender ..
Life’s like lickin’ honey
Lickin’ honey off a thorn

Life can be beautiful, life can be cruel
A sharp sliver of glass
Disguised as a jewel
It shimmers in the light, but your heart will be torn
Asunder ..
Life’s like lickin’ honey
Lickin’ honey off a thorn

Life can be beautiful, life can be tough
Life can be wild
Life can be rough
It’s something to tell - to every new born
Remember ..
Life’s like lickin’ honey
Lickin’ honey off a thorn
