Forgive me if I seem to preach - but there is something that I want to say
A message that I hope will reach - people who are throwing life away
I call it my philosophy - that is why I pass it on to you
Because it works so well for me - it helps me get away from strife
I hope you listen carefully - they say the truth will make you free
And that's the way you want to be - 'cause brother this is your life
Long as you're livin' - always remember
Time is for spendin' - but there's an ending
While you are sleepin' - lifetime is creepin'
Wake up and taste it - foolish to waste it
Sample and savor - all of it's flavor
Long as you're livin'...
Long as you're livin' - always remember
Folks who are lazy - are playing crazy
Better keep movin' - keep on improvin'
You won't be hurried - after you're buried
Live every minute - put yourself in it
Long as you're livin'...
~~~♫♫♫ ~~~
Long as you're livin' - always remember
You'll never beat life - don't try to cheat life
All in are brothers - do unto others
Love's for enjoying -hate's for destroying
Never forget it - or you'll regret it
Long as your livin...
