They ask me, what is your legacy?
The search can be complicated
But it really should be simple
I am a father, I am a son, I am a brother and I am a friend
I am my music and your smile
I am the streets of New York and Puerto Rico
I try to touch the lives of my people the same way
The way they've touched mine
I live to somehow leave my mark
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to rejoice
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to rejoice
Live my life, la-la-la-la
If a sorrow hurts, it gets forgotten
And why suffer? What for?
If that's how life is, you've got to live it
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to rejoice
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to live in the moment
I'm going to listen in silence
If a sorrow hurts, it gets forgotten
And why suffer? What for?
If a sorrow hurts, it gets forgotten
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to rejoice
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Feel, dance, and celebrate
Because there's only one life
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance, live, keep going
Always forward, don't look back
That's it, my people! You only live once
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to dance
Live my life, la-la-la-la
I'm going to laugh, I'm going to rejoice
Live my life, la-la-la-la
