I´m really glad that I´m alive
I didn´t know if I´d survive
I´ve been too low too long to like it
and had to face the pain to fight it, baby
in the eyes of sad man
the future world is bound to look tragic
after all
life is magic
I met a man with lonely eyes
then suddenly I realized
you gotta live inside a prison
to open wide the gate to wisdom, baby
from the stairs of a jailhouse
the colors of the rainbow look brighter
after all
I´m a fighter
I´m back in the business
Ooh, I´m back in the business
When the nights were long
I had to fight my way
till my fear was gone
and I could see the day
now I´m feeling much better
thanks for sending your letter
and your postcard
of Manhattan
from the sky
I get by
I´ve been alone and run around
to every joint there is in town
I had to find a face to talk to
another place that I could walk to, baby
from the cliffs by the lighthouse
the navy blue horizon looks brighter
after all
I´m a fighter
I´m back in the business
Ooh, I´m back in the business
In the eyes of a sad man
the future world is bound to look tragic
after all
life is magic
