Life is not always easy,
Oh no not at all baba.
Life is not always easy,
Oh no not at all sah.
Life is not always easy,
Oh no not at all dada.
Life is not always easy,
I and I know say.

We've been given the tools,
To make it what we will.
No need to lose our cool,
We all shall get our fill.
There's no other way,
So it was from the start.
Try as we may,
We can't erase the past;

So let's give thanks and praises, praises,
For every little thing.
Give thanks and praises, praises,
Oh sing.
Give thanks and praises, praises,
For every little thing.
Give thanks and praises, praises,
Open up your heart.
To the blessings that flow in the morning,
Open up your heart.
To the blessings that flow in the evening,
Cherish good thoughts.
For your brother, your sister, your neighbour,
Even your worst enemy,
You can't say no, don't say no.
