Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Change came like a hurricane
2020 hit us differently
And even though I didn’t want it
This old life got a hold of me
How to float when there’s no control?
Feeling life or nothing at all
Smoke it up ’til it fades away
Seein’ clouds, flyin’ aeroplanes
Ooh, ooh-ooh yeah
That’s when you know what matters to you
Ooh, ooh-ooh yeah
Hope will come someday soon
Ooh, ooh-ooh yeah, yeah
Been in the darkness for a while
We’ll see the rays shinin’ down (Shinin’ down)

[Chorus]
And then life was beautiful (Beautiful, beautiful)
Feel the waves ’til we rise (Yeah, yeah)
And then life was beautiful (Beautiful)
A beautiful life

[Verse 2]
It’s the little things
I used to neglect you, used to runnin’ away
I never stopped to see them growin’ (Growin’)
I never stopped to see them grow, oh, oh, oh, (Growin’), growin’
Then the Earth spins around
And it’s all comin’ down (It’s all comin’ down)
And you lose what you found
And you don’t even know where to start
Don’t even know who you are
(You don’t know who you are)

[Bridge]
Here’s a moment just to think about, think about
All that is you, all that is you, yeah, yeah-yeah
Take a second just to breathe it out, breathe it out
‘Til it feels it good, you’re doin’ so good
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Here’s a moment just to think about, think about
All that is you, all that is you, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Take a second just to breathe it out (Breathe), breathe it out (Out)
‘Til it feels it good, you’re doin’ so good, yeah

[Chorus]
And then life was beautiful (Beautiful, beautiful)
Feel the waves ’til we rise (Yeah, yeah)
And then life was beautiful (Beautiful)
A beautiful life

[Outro]
Then life (Then life)
Was beautiful, oh-oh, oh (Beautiful)
Oh, oh-oh, oh (Beautiful), oh, oh
Beautiful, oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
(Do we go on?)
Beautiful, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-woah, woah, woah
So beautiful
It’s a beautiful life
