Life to Life lyrics
by Pete Townshend
Gotta let my heart learn to talk
Must let my head learn to walk
I must forget all the hopeless pain
Must bring my life back to life
Once again
Never let them see you crying
Don't try to run before you've figured how to crawl
They must believe they are the lions
Never let them guess you learned how to fall
Let them brand you as a sinner
Let them think that you're the one who has lost
You won't be charged with being a winner
You won't be saddled being called the boss
Bring life to life
Life to life
Breathe life into life
Life to life
Give life back to life
Why pretend to be so rough and strong
When your weakness is your strongest ten
Why pretend to be so tough so long
As you really are an ordinary man
Gonna let them see you dreaming
Gonna let them know you conquered your sorrow
Don't let them know you're scheming
Don't let them know that you have plans for tomorrow
To bring life to life
Give life back to life
Life to life
Life to life
Give life back to life
Will you attack the stands?
Can you stand the shock?
We need an iron man
They want a man of rock
You can keep all the games
The suicide leaps
Keep away from the flames
This time we're playing for keeps
(guitar solo)
Never let them see you crying
But make them sure you're not afraid to cry
Never let them see you trying
Never let them know that you're prepared to die
To bring life to life
Give life back to life
Breathe life into life
Life to life
Give life back to life
Gotta let my heart learn to talk
Must let my head learn to walk
I must forget all the hopeless pain
Must bring my life back to life
Once again
