This Is Life (Merry Christmas) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Things can get so bad I know
But things could always be worse
There's a blessing tucked inside of each and every curse
You could be a selfish fool
And somehow not be selfish enough
Your glass could be half full
But you have already drank way too much

[Chorus]
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life

[Verse 2]
Oh, how humor
You burst the bubble of all our hidden pain
Oh, how humor
You clever mother, you're keeping everybody sane
Oh, how laughter
You make us bast*rds feel some kind of joy
Like a golden token
We find we're not broken, like some cheap little toy

[Chorus]
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
[Verse 3]
Time is so fleeting
I hope that you're reading everything in between the lines
Life can have meaning
If you keep dreaming all the way through the days and the nights
I saw you cry a little, in the middle of a story you once told
You're a thing of beauty, and we're all rooting for you not to fold

[Chorus}
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas

[Outro]
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
