I met a girl whose heart

was on the right hand side

and upon the left

an angel did reside

they told her mother

that she never would survive

but she kept the rhythm

and is still alive



We must all have

the will to live

you got to have

the will to live



Then I met a man

who had to walk with his hands

born into a world

he couldn't stand

blessed with life

but cursed as a man

still he walks taller

than most of us can



We must all have

the will to live

you got to have

the will to live



Some are born with more

and some born with less

so don't take for granted

the life we've been blessed

it's hard to understand

that we're only a guest

and each one of us

shall be put to life's test



We must all have

the will to live

you got to have

the will to live
