Our
days on earth are short, we know,
We
fly then off to heaven;
Just
how we live while here below
Shows
if we’re truly livin’.
So live
each day while here on earth,
Don’t
wait until tomorrow…
Enjoy
each gift for all it’s worth,
Else
you shall die in sorrow.
Enjoy
the birds, the bumblebees,
Each
day from morn till nightfall,
Take
time to sing, be filled with glee!
Who
knows when comes the death call?
We can
turn back if what we do
Shall
bring us naught but sorrow,
But
if in death we bid adieu…
For
us, there’s no tomorrow.
So live
and sing and shout with glee,
Let’s
live and not just exist;
Your
inner self you should set free!
Such
pleasure – who can resist?
Let’s
share the joy we’ve come to know
With
others along the way,
And
take the time our love to show
To
someone every day.
Come
now with me off in a song,
Let’s
fly to places unknown…
Our
journey may be very long,
In
fact, we may not come home!
Let’s
stay away off in our song,
Let’s
live our lives to the most!
‘Tis
true, the way here oft grows long –
But
someday we’ll be but ghosts.
Our days
on earth are short, we know,
We
fly then off to heaven;
Just
how we live while here below
Shows
if we’re truly livin’.
