Lyrics
Intro
Life’s melodies are sometimes beautiful,
Sometimes, ugly, and sometimes painful
But we learn, and we progress, sometimes we regress
Yet we hope
For better days to come
For peace inside our heart
For bad memories to erase and only the good ones to prevail
This is life
[Verse 1
In the streams of life
We seek solace
We learn, we endure, we await
We look at ourselves in the mirror
And we see the change
We are not static, we progress, we regress,
each day brings a different taste
Chorus
Baby if you want me clap your hands
Baby if you need me clap your hands
Baby if you want to write a different story
Never mind, clap your hands
Baby if you want me clap your hands
Baby if you need me clap your hands
Baby if you want to write a different story
Never mind, clap your hands
Intro
Life’s melodies are sometimes beautiful,
Sometimes, ugly, and sometimes painful
But we learn, and we progress, sometimes we regress
Yet we hope
For better days to come
For peace inside our heart
For bad memories to erase and only the good ones to prevail
This is life
Verse 2
One day we are dry, the other embellished
We fear the unknown, we cry in silence
So many people have betrayed us but we still sustain
The pain, the anger, the rejections, and the exploitation
Are all part of our world and circumstances
Sometimes we ask, why us, why not them
Sometimes we even question the justice that God is supposed to give us
Our dreams become our nightmares
But we don’t give up
We hope for better days to come
Chorus
Baby if you want me clap your hands
Baby if you need me clap your hands
Baby if you want to write a different story
Never mind, clap your hands
Baby if you want me clap your hands
Baby if you need me clap your hands
Baby if you want to write a different story
Never mind, clap your hands

Baby if you want me clap your hands
Baby if you need me clap your hands

Never mind, clap your hands
Baby if you want me clap your hands
Baby if you need me clap your hands
Baby if you want to write a different story
Never mind, clap your hands
