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 

la 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 la la life is wonderful 
al la la la la 

It takes a night to make it dawn 
and it takes a day to make you yawn brother 
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 
and it takes some fears to make you trust 
it takes those tears to make it rust  
it takes the dust to have it polished (Yeah) 

ha 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 la la life is wonderful 
ah la la la it is so (and it’s so) 

It takes some silence to make sound 
and 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 la life goes full circle 
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful 
ah la la la la la la life is meaningful 
ah la la la la la la life is wonderful 
ah la la la la la 
it is so wonderful 
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 

Life is wonderful - Jason Mraz
