Life Is Good, Love Is Better
Embracing Life's Triumphs: A Journey Through Kenny Rogers' 'Life Is Good, Love Is Better'
Lyrics
Life is a hustle, every day struggle
Life is a constant effort, a daily challenge.
Pushing your way at the top
Striving to make progress and achieve success.
Gotta keep it on track and never look back
It's essential to stay focused and not dwell on the past.
And no, you don't dare stop.
Perseverance is crucial; you can't afford to give up.
There's someone behind you keeping an eye on you
Others are watching and hoping for your failure.
Hoping you take a fall, a lady, she's liked to see me more
A woman is particularly interested in witnessing setbacks.
But I can't slow down at all.
Despite external pressures, there's no time to slow down.
She says:
Dialogue begins: She expresses a need for solitude.
Wow, I need some time alone
Resisting the idea, emphasizing the importance of persistence.
I say: no, we gotta keep pushing on
Commitment to pushing forward despite challenges.
She said: life is good, love is better?
Questioning the balance between a good life and love.
My daddy, he always preached to me
Fatherly advice on reaching for one's aspirations.
You gotta reach for the sky
Encouragement to seize opportunities when they arise.
Make rain while the sun is shining
Suggesting making the most of favorable circumstances.
Boy, don't let it pass you by
A warning not to miss out on life's opportunities.
Money and power is in your hand
Highlighting the influence of wealth and authority.
You can do what you wanna be
Empowerment message - you can be what you want.
Oh, my baby, she?s got a different philosophy.
A partner has a different perspective on life.
She says:
She expresses belief in a divine connection.
Now I know my sweet lady must be heaven sent
Confirming the partner as a special, heaven-sent person.
I just cover the meaning of what she meant
Trying to understand the depth of her words.
I've been working so hard for the good life but I headed all the while
Struggling for success but finding joy in love.
I've found my hiding treasure, baby, right there in this smile.
Discovering happiness in the partner's smile.
I say:
Reflecting on spending time alone with the partner.
Wow, seems we've spent time alone
Expressing amazement at the shared experiences.
I say:
Reiterating the growth and strength of their love.
Wow, how our love has grown
Acknowledging that the partner was right all along.
She was right all alone
Recognizing the wisdom in choosing love over material success.
I say:
Repeating the question about the balance between life and love.
Life is good, love is better?
Ending with a contemplation on the relative values of life and love.
