A                      D
Don't cry because it's over now
  A                  E
Smile because it was ours
A                   D
Keep your feet firm on the ground
     A                   E
Your eyes fixed on the stars
                 E
'Cause it never mattered who you are

Chorus:
 D                 A
Make your life a message
          F#m               E
And bring light to all you see (to all you see)
     D                 A
And make your words a message
           E
That will be (that will be)
    E
A blessing coming back to me
 D                 A
Make your life a storybook
     F#m      E
With no apologies (no apologies)
 D                A
Make your life a message
            E
And you'll be (and you'll be)
A blessing coming back to me

All I know of life and love
I wrestled into words
Rest assured that life goes on
And moves on its own terms
So be careful ‘cause it might just burn

Chorus:
Make your life a message
And bring light to all you see (to all you see)
And make your words a message
That will be (that will be)
A blessing coming back to me
Make your life a storybook
With no apologies (no apologies)
Make your life a message
And you’ll be (and you’ll be)
A blessing coming back to me

 A
Life's a message
 D
Life's a message
 A           E
Life's a message (life's a blessing)
 A
Life's a message
 D
Life's a message
 A           E
Life's a message (life's a blessing)
