C'est la vie Lyrics

Fighting the odds while we still have time
There is a limit, don't cross that line
It's no good with water we cannot drink
We're a ship about to sink.
Chorus:
We pray but the wall is just too high
We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky.
C'est la vie, life in the shadows
C'est la vie, there's no tomorrow.
Give us back the blue, blue sky

Where the air is so fresh,where eagles fly
What good is a planet that's slowly dying
What kind of life can it bring?
Chorus:
We pray but the wall is just too high
We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky.
C'est la vie, life in the shadows
C'est la vie, there's no tomorrow.
