_____________________ / Jason Mraz / I don't really see what this song is about besides from / Life is Wonderful / being an innocently overt appreciation of life. I think / Mr. A-Z / it's mostly just about Mraz' wonderful wordplay, and I /____________________/ really think he has made up some great lines in this song!

Outro: ||: G#m | G#m | G#m | G#m :|| repeat till fade out
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 some words 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
Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life goes full circle Ah-la-la-la-la life is wonderful Ah-la-la-la-la
It takes a night to make it dawn And it takes a day to make you yawn brother And it takes some old to make you young It takes some cold to know the sun It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love But it takes you years to know what love is It takes some fears to make you trust It takes those tears to make it rust It takes the dust to have it polished
Ah-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful Ah-la-la-la-la-la life goes full circle Ah-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful Ah-la-la-la-la It is wonderful
It takes some silence to make sound It takes a loss before you found it And it takes a road to go nowhere It takes a toll to make 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 life goes full circle Ha-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful Ha-la-la-la-la-la life is meaningful Ha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful Ah-la-la-la-la-la It is so meaningful It is so wonderful It is meaningful It is wonderful It is meaningful It goes full circle Wonderful Meaningful Full circle Wonderful
