it takes a crane to build a crane
it takes two floors to make a story
it takes an egg to make a hen
it takes a hen to make an egg
there is no end to what i'm saying

it takes a thought to make a word
and it takes a word to make an action
it takes some work to make it work
it takes some good to make it hurt
it takes some bad for satisfaction

la la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
al la la la la

it takes a night to make it dawn
and it takes a day to you yawn brother
it takes some old to make you young
it takes some cold to know the sun
it takes the one to have the other

it takes no time to fall in love
but it takes you years to know what love is
it takes some tears to make you trust
it takes some years to make it rust
it takes some dust to make it polished

ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is so full of
ah la la la la la la life is so rough
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is our love
ah la la la la la

it takes some silence to make sound
it takes a loss before you found it
it takes a road to go nowhere
it takes a toll to know you care
it takes a hole to make a mountain

ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is oh love
ah la la la la la la love is all sorts of
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la la life is full circle
ah la la la la la la life is holla holla
ah la la la la la la next up bushwalla-walla
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
ah la la la la la

    General Comment:Anyone noticed that a lot of these are actually very inacurate?

    Examples; it doesnt take a crane to build a crane, it doesnt take a word to make an action, it doesnt take some bad for satisfaction... the list goes on.

    Brilliant song with a great meaning though.

    General Comment:Am I the only person who thinks it sounds like a song you hear on a vacation commercial?

    General Comment:I love this song. It's very poetic.

    "it takes no time to fall in love
    but it takes you years to know what love is"
    ^Favorite line.

    I think it's basically just saying life is wonderful because of all the twists and turns it takes. Things balance themselves out.

    General Comment:I believe this song about the simplicity of life, love, and how even the bad is meaningful and part of the journey. The melody is just so relaxing. Amazing music.

    General Comment:I think it's about Yin and Yang. You know, thw one can't do without the other, when you want to be happy, you must have felt sad. And so had everything it's opposite, which in the end makes it good after all.

    General Comment:I love how the song progresses ... its starts off haha, cool and builds up momentum, singin faster, adding instruments, pronouncing deeper... and the lyrics go right with the progression, just like in life

    General Comment:This song pretty much means just what it says: Life Is Wonderful. The ups, the downs, the good the bad, it all works to make beautiful life.

    "it takes some cold to know the sun "
    "it takes some fears to make you trust"
    "it takes some tears to make it rust"
    Those have to be my 3 favorite lines.

    General Comment:It's Jason reflecting on how simple life is after all. It kind of seems to me very appropriate for him to put it on his second album cause he has accomplished a lot and now he's just telling us all "But you know what, life is wonderful!" I like.
