Lyrics[]
Books are really great for learning facts
For finding out the who, what, when and why
But sometimes you have to push aside the stacks
And take a step into the world outside
If you want to feel the thrill of the ocean
As a mermaid guides a ship through her realm
You will never know the serge of emotion
Till you climb aboard and step up to the helm
You gotta live it to learn it
You gotta dive in and do it
You gotta show that you know it
And work your way through it
You can read about King Arthur's knights
A book will tell you every tale and plot
But if you want to witness their true might
Well try shaking hangs with Sir Lancelot
If you want to grow a beautiful flower
Dig into the dirt like a gnome or an elf
Can't tell if a fruit will be sweet or sour
Till you take a bite and find out for yourself
You gotta live it to learn it
You gotta dive in and do it
You gotta show that you know it
And work your way through it
(Instrumental Bridge)
You gotta live it to learn it
You gotta dive in and do it
So don't sweat it 'cause you'll get it
Just set your mind to it
You gotta live it to learn it
(Live it to learn it)
You gotta dive in and do it
(Dive in and do it)
You gotta show that you know it
(Show that you know it)
Just work your way through it
