Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. So many things calling out my name Sometimes it’s hard not to lose my way And keep from falling, falling I’ve been told life goes so fast Don’t know how long it will last So let’s make Every second count Oh…
This life is a matter of time We’ve only got so much Till we leave it behind What will we do with it What are we doing with, with This life won’t last very long So we should make sure we’re where we belong What will we do with it What are we doing with This life
So many people who need our love And so much more that can be done So let’s make Every second count Oh…
This life is a matter of time We’ve only got so much Till we leave it behind What will we do with it What are we doing with, with This life won’t last very long So we should make sure we’re where we belong What will we do with it What are we doing with This life
2. Do we treasure every moment And those we love Help the needy and the homeless Lift them up This is only the beginning of what’s in store If we use what we’ve been given We’re promised so much, so much more
This life is a matter of time We’ve only got so much Till we leave it behind What will we do with it What are we doing with, with This life won’t last very long So we should make sure we’re where we belong What will we do with it What are we doing with This life This life
