Living Again Lyrics
If I could write one song
To right all wrong I would--If I could.
But in retrospect a little bad is good mm-hmm
We all need what we want
And don’t know what we need.
Life if bittersweet, bittersweet indeed.
Well I’m so human it is a god-damn shame--I'm your thing.
And I make sure that I always keep me some pain
To remind you that I survived somehow.
Lord, please don’t let nothing steal me away right now..right now.
‘Cause I wanna live…
Chours
Hut, 2, 3, 4
What the hell are you waiting for?
Live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Now, hut, 2, 3, 4
What the hell are you waiting for?
Live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Just live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Well, I have struggled so hard, yet I survive
And it’s a miracle that I’m still alive.
I said stand up everybody
This is your life
You gotta get it when you can, ya’ll
To have it and fun this is your knife
We can’t forget about the brothers, the sisters, the lovers who ain’t here.
You only got one life ya’ll
And I repeat the point if it ain’t clear.
And if ain’t fear, then what’s stopping you from going
Do you not want to be responsible for knowing?
‘Cause ignorance is bliss
And ignorance is just so fuckin' ignorant you may even be ignorant of this
If you say so my Desoto's the significance of this
I’m good-looking still fuckin' so fool so make a dish
Light a candle for love
Blow it out and make a wish
And I hope die happy like this..
‘Cause I wanna live
-Repeat Chorus-
Well I have struggled so hard, yet, I survive.
And it’s a miracle that I’m still alive.
Well, I have struggled so hard, yet, I survive.
And it’s a miracle that I’m still alive.
To right all wrong I would--If I could.
But in retrospect a little bad is good mm-hmm
We all need what we want
And don’t know what we need.
Life if bittersweet, bittersweet indeed.
Well I’m so human it is a god-damn shame--I'm your thing.
And I make sure that I always keep me some pain
To remind you that I survived somehow.
Lord, please don’t let nothing steal me away right now..right now.
‘Cause I wanna live…
Hut, 2, 3, 4
What the hell are you waiting for?
Live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Now, hut, 2, 3, 4
What the hell are you waiting for?
Live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
Just live (Think about it are you sure you’re really livin’?)
And it’s a miracle that I’m still alive.
This is your life
You gotta get it when you can, ya’ll

Well, I have struggled so hard, yet, I survive.
And it’s a miracle that I’m still alive.

I love this song.
The lyrics seem pretty evident to me - cee-lo recognizes the inherent worth in his life. I also interpret him saying that 'If life's not worth anything - then why are you living ?' By knowing the value of life , he's thankful for still being alive despite his past mistakes and at the same time, doesn't want his life to end yet. Besides his recognition and appreciation of life, he's calling out others to do the same in the second verse. He starts out with "I said stand up everybody This is your life You gotta get it when you can, ya’ll"
It's a call to recognize the value of life and live it (doesn't say much how to live it, except 'to have it and fun this is your (knive) life' and perhaps, a balance of good and bad, as found in verse one.
Later in the second verse, Cee-Lo take no excuses for not living. "And if ain’t fear, then what’s stopping you from going Do you not want to be responsible for knowing? ‘Cause ignorance is bliss And ignorance is just so fuckin' ignorant you may even be ignorant of this"
This is a call to recognize the value of life and to live it as such. Cee-lo's talent is making this call not sound condescending and make it sound good.
