Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. So many things calling out my nameSometimes it’s hard not to lose my wayAnd keep from falling, fallingI’ve been told life goes so fastDon’t know how long it will lastSo let’s makeEvery second countOh…
This life is a matter of timeWe’ve only got so muchTill we leave it behindWhat will we do with itWhat are we doing with, withThis life won’t last very longSo we should make sure we’re where we belongWhat will we do with itWhat are we doing withThis life
So many people who need our loveAnd so much more that can be doneSo let’s makeEvery second countOh…
This life is a matter of timeWe’ve only got so muchTill we leave it behindWhat will we do with itWhat are we doing with, withThis life won’t last very longSo we should make sure we’re where we belongWhat will we do with itWhat are we doing withThis life
2. Do we treasure every momentAnd those we loveHelp the needy and the homelessLift them upThis is only the beginningof what’s in storeIf we use what we’ve been givenWe’re promised so much, so much more
This life is a matter of timeWe’ve only got so muchTill we leave it behindWhat will we do with itWhat are we doing with, withThis life won’t last very longSo we should make sure we’re where we belongWhat will we do with itWhat are we doing withThis lifeThis life
