You gotta know what's best in your life to live it full
But you gotta know what's best in life
Sadness is the key to life, enough said right there
Bottled up emotions just doesn't make you last a lifetime
Gotta let the sadness come out during hard times
Let your tears come out, don't hold back a single bit
If you hold back you wont do as good in life
Let all the sadness out in one shot, not two, not three, just one shot
If you let it all out, you'll see how happy you'll be in the end
(Sadness is the key to life)
Now when you're left behind to rot in the dirt
Just let that sadness out let the tears flow free all day long
If they're still there during the night, just let them come out
Don't hold back a single bit in your life, let it flow
(Sadness is the key to life)
But in your time of sadness, connect with God
Pray to the Lord to make you happy once more and make
All of your endless tears go away and not come back
He'll make you happy, I promise he will
But you have to believe to be happy again
Though we know sadness is the key to life
We know the sadness is the key until it's all gone
Because when you're sad, when you let it be known, it'll go away
(Sadness is the key to life)
We all known you're happy when you aren't sad
But we don't know how to remain that way throughout life
I'll let you in on a little secret -- pray to God to be happy
I swear it'll work, but be sad first, it'll let you be happy all your life
