life is not a movie there's no script to follow

no director shouting cut when things go hollow

we wake up each day and the real world's glow

with no guarantee of a perfect show

the days don't always start with a magical score

no fairytale mornings knocking at the door

we face the chaos the mess and the strife

and sometimes it feels like a never ending fight

life is not a movie but we keep on moving

no special effects to make it all improving

we make our own stories write our own lines

in this real life journey through the sands of time

there are no retakes when we make a mistake

no instant replaced to fix what we break

we carry the scars the memories of pain

and try to find meaning in the pouring rain

no glamorous heroes always coming to save

just ordinary people trying not to cave

we stumble and fall get up and try again

in this non cinematic life without a pretend life

life is not a movie but we keep on moving

no special effects to make it all improving

we make our own stories write our own lines

in this real life journey through the sands of time

we might long for the movie like love affairs

the grand finals and the easy to bear

but real life's beauty is in its raw state

in the small victories and the battles we create

life is not a movie but

we keep on moving

no special effects to make it all improving

we make our own stories

write our own lines in this real life

journey through the sands of time

we might long for the movie like Love Affairs

life is not a movie but we keep on moving

no special effects to make it all improving

we make our own stories

write our own lines in this real life

journey through the sands of time
