Shangri-la Lyrics - Don Henley

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
