C'est La Vie

They say “cʼest la vie” with a pat on a shoulder
Do they know what you need? Or am I getting older?
So much I remember, yesterday just surrendered
Those words “just let it be”

And you say, say, say
“Donʼt you take my dreams away”
That youʼll change, change, change
That youʼll change the world but tomorrow, but tomorrow

Who said “cʼest la vie” to the little toy soldier?
How hard can it be? Even when it gets colder
Take a walk on the water, take a walk on the moon
Who said “just let it sleep”?

And you say, say, say
“Donʼt you take my dreams away”
That youʼll change, change, change
That youʼll change the world but tomorrow, but tomorrow

And so many chances can pass you by
Maybe just a matter of trying
Cause, there ainʼt no mistaking how time goes by
Some say remember
Some say forget
Some say it matters
Some just regret

But I say, say, say
I wonʼt your take your dreams away
And youʼll change, change, change
And youʼll change the world by tomorrow
Change the world by tomorrow
By tomorrow you gonna change the world
You gonna change the world
