When I was a boy, all pissin' vinegar
Life spoke of simple things
A stick or a stone, an old football
A shoe laced up with string
In a second-hand-world of joy
With your own ones through the noise
In a wee house filled with kith & kin
How we would laugh, how we would sing
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
That's the way life should be
Here we are now in the days of our lives
Three steps ahead of go
Forgetting how to take a moment
To breathe the air of slow
I don't call you 'cause you don't have time
It's a hill that we still have to climb
But if we believe in our heart of hearts
When love comes first, we'll you're sure to find
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
Oh, that's the way life should be
Oh, wae yer family
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
We are the ones who make the climb
We are the ones who live to shine
We are the ones who walk in shadows
Of those who came before
And now we share this love and moment
Let's raise a glass to those we love
So here's to you and yours and my mad mob
For they are mine and all that I have got
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
Oh, that's the way life should be
Oh, wae yer family
That's the way life should be
Wae yer family
