Four Songtext
von Alive!

Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four
Baby, and I mean to be many but nobody needs any more
Of the many facts making the list of life, truth takes the lead
And to relax knowing the gist of life, it′s truth you need
And the second is honor and happiness makes number three
If you put them together you'll know what the last one must be
Baby, so to truth, honor and happiness, add one thing more
Meaning only one for wonderful love, that′ll make it four
Don't you know the score?
Well, people when they're younger
Never realize the pleasure treasure life′s got
But as they grow older, realize a lot
They gather round at all the wrong it seems
And things that cost a lot of money but it′s really very funny
They fade away and don't amount to a hill of beans
Funny how the things in life we really should adore
We forget or ignore, end up poor
Making money till we′re nigh unto madness and end up in sadness
Youth is the time when we should see the light
'Cause when we′re old and wasted, the dues for what we tasted


Run so high that we pay till we die
Then you know the youth that made us strong is wasted on the young
So enjoy it gaily, love life and live it daily
You'll find a lot of things that bring you joy and give peace of mind
Get it while the getting′s good
And everybody if they only could
Life would be a set, life would be a groovy set
Groovy as a movie
Well well, let your voice be heard
Spread the word, everybody here's got ears
Only gotta teach 'em how to use ′em, not abuse ′em
So take a tip from me
The world's everything it oughta be
As long as you can be sure
There is no more to life than the same old four
Hard to believe, I know, but time will show
That even though you think it′s a boarson
Two and two together constitute a foursome
That's all, and four is the figure
That′s all, ain't gonna be getting any bigger
Doesn′t matter how you slice it up, you'll never change it
You count everything that faith throws in our lives
But still, really four is all you got
Have I told you about the little
Pleasures that are part of all the rest?
You love a little and live a little and take a little and give a lot
And still the total's happiness
But that′s only one, you′ve just begun
There's gonna be more after this
It′s truth and honor shining
Love combined to make it four
