Alixus_-_The life you live
Lyrics
Intro
Oh yeah, yeah…
Under the island sun, we know
It’s what you do, not what you say
Let your life speak every day
Verse 1
You can talk about love from morning till night
Say all the right things, make everything sound right
But when the road gets rough and the rain starts to fall
Will you stand beside me, will you answer the call?
You can promise the moon, you can promise the sea
Tell the whole world who you claim to be
But the truth shines bright in the things that you do
Your life tells the story when your words aren't true
Pre-Chorus
So let your hands show what your heart believes
Let your footsteps walk where your soul can breathe
Don't just tell me what you wanna be
Show me with your life, and let your spirit speak
Chorus
The life you live is more important than the words you speak
It's the love you give when somebody's feeling weak
It's the hand you reach when someone falls down
It's the light you bring when there's darkness all around
The life you live is more important than the words you say
Every little action shows the path you take
So live what you believe, let your heart be true
'Cause the world is listening to the life you live and do
Verse 2
On the island, we know the value of a friend
A helping hand can make the hurting heart mend
You don't need a big speech, you don't need a parade
Sometimes a simple kindness is the greatest gift made
When the children watch, what example will they see?
Will they see forgiveness? Will they see humility?
Teach them with your actions, teach them how to care
Let compassion be the music floating through the air
Pre-Chorus
So let your hands show what your heart believes
Let your footsteps walk where your soul can breathe
Don't just tell me what you wanna be
Show me with your life, and let your spirit speak
Chorus
The life you live is more important than the words you speak
It's the love you give when somebody's feeling weak
It's the hand you reach when someone falls down
It's the light you bring when there's darkness all around
The life you live is more important than the words you say
Every little action shows the path you take
So live what you believe, let your heart be true
'Cause the world is listening to the life you live and do
Bridge
Words are like the ocean breeze,
They come and go so easily
But a life of love will leave a mark
Like a shining fire in the dark
Don't tell me you're kind — be kind
Don't tell me you care — show me
Don't tell me you'll stay — stand strong
Let your life sing your song
Island Reggae Breakdown
Whoa-oh, let it shine, let it shine
One good deed at a time
Whoa-oh, side by side
Let your actions be your guide
Final Chorus
The life you live is more important than the words you speak
It's the love you give when somebody's feeling weak
It's the hand you reach when someone falls down
It's the light you bring when there's darkness all around
The life you live is more important than the words you say
Let your actions tell the story every day
Live what you believe, let your heart be true
Let the world see the love that's living inside you
Outro
Yeah…
Don't just speak it… live it
Don't just say it… give it
Underneath the island sky
Let your life be the reason why
Oh yeah…
Let your life speak.
