Life starts with a lot of cheers
Ends with a lot of tears
Life doesn’t last long
no no no
doesn’t last long at all
One minute you’re looking at yourself in the Superman costume in the mirror
Next you’re seeing your parents deaths nearer
I hate living out of fear
mom says don’t worry dear
Watching my sisters raise her kids
When we were once those kids
Playing in grass and climbing the tree
I remember being a kid and feeling free
Life starts with a lot of cheers
Ends with a lot of tears
Life doesn’t last long
no no no
doesn’t last long at all
Paying taxes and watching gas prices
Having to be decisive
Don’t want to start thinking of the day
When my older family is no longer here to stay
When I’m on the verge of turning ill
I hope my room is full still
Life starts with a lot of cheers
Ends with a lot of tears
Life doesn’t last long
no no no
doesn’t last long at all
