There are days when I wake up
And I don't know what I'm doing here

When it hurts so bad that you can't go on
Life keeps moving on
When you feel
That you've been done wrong
When yo...

Loving you is elementary
It's easier than one two three
I passed school so consequently
It's coming so naturally
A is for all that you've done for me

I saw you there
And looked you straight between the eyes
And said I'm leaving

so far from home.

By the way they're said, we do not mean them.
From a million miles away, words are all I know to say.

 Worked at a desk his whole damn life

But I heard that healthy things grow
And growing things chan...

Do you ever feel sad? Do you ever feel low?
Ever have things that don't go how you want 'em to go?
Well, Brother Bear, you should know
