Lyrics for How You Gonna Be:
How you gonna be with these changing times, what you gonna give?
*What you gonna do with uncertainty, how you gonna live, oh how you gonna live?
(*sounds like “watchya”)
Well I’m gonna sing and I’m gonna pray and I’m gonna walk outside,
not take for granted anything it means to be alive,
it means to be alive!
(last time) what’s it mean to be alive?
