Start to Live

Before you walk, you've got to walk on coals
'Cause you won't know anything until you know
a pain so deep, it starts to seem you've always been this cold
Before you walk, you've got to walk on coals

Before you smile, you're gonna have to frown
'Cause you never will be up until you're down
Your sweet reward will be so much more if you really make those rounds
Before you smile, you're gonna have to frown

After you cry, you best let go a laugh
It's the only thing that's gonna get you past
This wicked world, like a Tilt-A-Whirl that dealt you that bad hand
After you cry, you best let go a laugh

We're all gonna die, so we better start to live
Just remember, no one's gonna love you for being selfish
So have your fun, but before you're done, give back a little bit
We're all gonna die, so we better start to live
