Every man has a right to live
Love is all that we have to give
Together we struggle by our will to survive
And together we fight just to stay alive

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Like a flower we bloom, and then later fade away

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man

Better Days Are Coming

[No lyrics]

. . .


It's getting to the point
Where I can't hang around no more
It's getting to the point
Where really have to open up the door

Times are changing
You better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!

Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
And you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late

Hear me now!

Heavy burden gets you down
And pressure is all around
Sit around and hesitate
Say you're waiting for a lucky break

Life's for living
Better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!

Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
Or you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late

Heavy burden gets you down
And pressure is all around
You sit around and hesitate
Say you're waiting for the lucky break

Life's for living
Better use your sense
Use what you've got
From coincidence
Hear me now!

Sooner or later you gonna have to stand up tall
Sooner or later when your backs against that wall
Sooner or later you'll have to be the one you are
Or you just might find that you're out of time
And it's just too late

I can still remember
When we were much younger
Skies were blue and fields were green
oh the air's so clean

Animals ran wild and free
birds could sing in harmony
flowers would grow all around
and Mother Earth was sound

CHORUS
In those good good old days
In those good good old days
In those good good old days
That used to be


Where did all the green fields go
And flowers now that just won't grow
Animals are dying out
That lives north and south

They found out how to crack the skies
Casting shadows on our eyes
Telling us just how to live
And when to die

CHORUS
But those good good old days
yes those good good old days
In those good good old days
That used to be

Wasting oil upon the sea
That used to be so fresh and free
Poisoned gases everywhere
Stifling the air

And many children lose their way
By leaders of confusion
And leave them with the price to pay
Of hastened evolution

CHORUS
But those good good old days
In those good good old days
yes those good good old days
That used to be

Talking ‘bout those good old days
Talking ‘bout those good old good old days
Don't you remember
Try to remember
I'm sure you know
I'm sure you know

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

You've always been beside me
For a moment of my youth
I know deep down inside me
You've always shared the truth

But life is brief and fickle
And all that starts must end
So la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

We've seen a lot together
Sometimes good but mostly bad
Through every change of weather
You're the only one I've had

But life is brief and fickle
And all that starts must end
So la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

The dream that we all live in
The plans we try to make
The treasures we are giving
Are more than we can take

But life is brief and fickle
And all that starts must end
So la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

Baby, I can't live without you
Life is nothing without you
Don't you know?

But life is brief and fickle
And all that starts must end
So la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
