[Verse 1]
Don’t cry because it’s over now
Smile because it was ours
Keep your feet firm on the ground
Your eyes fixed on the stars
‘Cause it never mattered who you are

[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
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh

[Verse 2]
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

Life’s a message
Life’s a message
Life’s a message (life’s a blessing)

Life’s a message
Life’s a message
Life’s a message (life’s a blessing)

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
