Oh So Beautiful by Curtis Mayfield Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
It is glorious

This is Curtis
Never forget the life we live is oh so beautiful, yes

[Chorus]
This life we live (Life we live)
Is oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful)
Oh so beautifal (Oh, it's so beautiful)

[Verse 1]
And I just want to tell you
I'm inspired to live my life
You trust in me I trust in you
We try to do whats right
Long as we can grow
It doesn't matter where you go
There always be, you see, some sacrifice

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm keeping the body and soul alright
Sometimes I got to struggle day and night
But I must do what I do 'cause life is truely really good
Now it's time to get the money and watch my people grow
And now I gots to go to another level
I made my moves and paid my dues
It's on again (It's on again)
[Chorus]
This life we live (Life we live)
Is oh so beautiful (Is oh so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh so beautiful)
Life is beautiful
This love we give (The love we give)
Is oh so beautiful (Is oh so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh so beautiful)

[Verse 2]
To see the sun do shine
You got to come out sometimes
It's not for us to know or wonder why
Reaching out in harmony
Praying for longevity
Just trying to find some meaning of my life

[Pre-Chorus]
Knowing life's got a way of making things look tough
But still I'm thinking that it's not enough
To ever make me ever feel like giving up
I'm never gonna stop, don't stop, won't stop
I gots to have my fun
What would life be that it would be so dull and dumb?
So I'm chillin' and I'll never fake the funk
(Don't fake the funk, don't fake the funk)
[Chorus]
This life we live (Life we live)
Is oh so beautiful (Is so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful, oh yeah)
Life is beautiful
This love we give (The love we give)
Is oh so beautiful (Is oh so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh so beautiful, so beautiful)

[Bridge]
[?] the people of the world
Could find the values, to get the challenge, my my
Just to solve your conflicts with another
Sister and brother, father and mother
Hey hey

To reap all the glory, we must take inventory
And love everything in it, 'cause this is organic

[Chorus]
This life we live (This life we live)
Is oh so beautiful (Oh so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful)
(Do you know what I'm talkin' about?)
This love we give (Yeah yeah)
Is oh so beautiful (Oh yeah)
Oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful)
(It is glorious)
This life we live (Life we live)
(You gotta reap everything you sow in life, oh yeah)
Is oh so beautiful (Oh so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful)
(Keep love on the planet we're dealin')
This love we give (Oh yes)
Is oh so beautiful (It's so beautiful)
Oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful)
(Smell the roses sometime, stop this crime)
This life we live (Life we live)
(Keep it true)
