Every day's a new day
That's what I've been told
Try to hold your head high
The world runs hot and cold
It's hard to follow footprints
In the shifting sands
Another thirsty rider
Behind the caravan
You had no idea
Just what was waiting out there
You never thought you'd carry the weight of the world
On your pretty blond hair
This ain't no Shangri-La
To you, no Shangri-La
This ain't no Shangri-La
Nobody knows no Shangri-La
Hey, there's a whole lotta people
Wonderin' who you are
They think you walk without a care in the world
But they've been wrong so far
This ain't no Shangri-La
To you, no Shangri-La
This ain't no Shangri-La
Nobody knows no Shangri-La
No one can be sad
What we all must outrun
Who's gonna carry the weight of the world
Unitl we learn to stop and do what must be done
This ain't no Shangri-La
To you, no Shangri-La
This ain't no Shangri-La
Nobody knows no Shangri-La
Shangri-La, Shangri-La
Shangri-La, Shangri-La
Shangri-La, Shangri-La
Shangri-La, Shangri-La
