Live and Love

I've done my share of time on the street
Seen the girl on the corner, the cop on the beat
Seen saints and sinners with their souls to the wall
I've seen 'em rise and you know I've seen 'em fall
Some so angry, and others so mild
And the old so sad and the young so wild
And the cry of the motherless child

You've got to live, love and do it your way
Never let it take you down
You've got to live, love from night to day
Remember what you're givin'
Lord it's comin' back around

If you listen close to the street you will hear
Words and music, laughter and fear
The beggar says, "Can you spare me a dime?"
The working girl says, "Can you spend a little time?"
They're all singin' and dancin' for change
'Cause lovin' is hard and livin' is pain
So lift your face to the rain

You've got to live, love and do it your way
Never let it take you down
You've got to live, love from night to day
Remember what you're givin'
Lord it's comin' back around

That's the way the story goes
Where it's gonna end?
No one knows

You've got to live, love and do it your way
Never let it take you down
You've got to live, love from night to day
Remember what you're givin'
Lord it's comin' back around
