Roberto Benigni asked me if he could use this song as a sequel to his Oscar-winning flick "Life is Beautiful." I asked him why he let the cool, calm, clever dad get killed by the Nazi guards instead of the stupid idiot kid he had in tow with him.

Story behind the song
Children should be seen, not heard.
Lyrics
INTRO 8 - Kevin
YUI (20)
This is life, with lights, actions, cameras with it/ All the glamour and glitz, strollin' out on Bloor
Couple a grand in my fist, iced out hands and wrists/ And man, I get this vision like a plan to get rich
That I'm playin' by ear, so mami if you here/ To stay, then by that day, we'll take it away
Like this live band behind me, find me with my aviators/ On stage, I told you that we major
So, that said I get you up on my latest/ Told ya take my hand baby, we can go places
'Member when they said that even God couldn't save him?/ ...Well I guess I found my own salvation'
Imagine, my passion, my haven, takin/ steps to Hollywood like Mann's Theatre Pavement
So international, touched down on every single continent/ ha, with nothing but my confidence
and because y'all ain't wanna touch upon it since/ i been here, just give the chef his compliments
...the food for thought's a dish that got 'em talkative, gossipin', pssst, look who he's walkin' with!//
HOOK (16)
Cruisin' down the highway
Drive into the sunset
Life is beautiful
But I ain't seen much yet
Show me how to go
To where the wind blows
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful (x2)
YUI (16)
You can get carried away, c'mon ma, cuz
It's not like I'm lookin' to get married today
So let the drum roll, and the trumpets blow
Lemme show you what it's like to go wit the flow, so
Get real low, yeah we, wine and dinin'
But this ain't forever so don't expect diamonds
...When it's night out and the moonlight shinin'
The whips is out front, the boy got impeccable timin'
...Not just rhymin', check out where I'm in
The coupe groove so slick you could outline it
Back of the bar, sippin' Moet is where you find him
Kickin' to the rhythm, Soul Plane in the system
...So if you feel like tonight's the night
Then it's all aboard now, ma, c'mon, let's take flight
I just need a girl that know how to be practical
And if you got that, we can make the moment magical//
SOLO, Mel overdub
BRIDGE (12)
It's not where you're from
It's not where you're at
It's where you're going
It's not looking back
Show me the world
There's so much to see
Don't try to stop me
I have to be free
Let me find out what's ahead
Say what needs to be said
I'll be on my way
We'll catch up another day
