Only Here For A Little While

(アルバム： Young Man - 1990)

Gonna hold who needs holding
Mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs praying
Say what needs saying
'Cause we're only here for a little while

Today I stood singing songs and saying Amen
Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young
He spent his life working hard to chase a dollar
Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done
Made me start thinking "What's the hurry, why the runnin'?
I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style
Take my time and I take it all for granted"
'Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding
Mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs praying
Say what needs saying
'Cause we're only here for a little while

Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow
Treat each day as though it's borrowed
Like it's precious as a child
Whoa, take my hand
Let us reach out to each other
'Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding
Mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs praying
Say what needs saying
'Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding
Mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking
Though it means an extra mile
Pray what needs praying
Say what needs saying
'Cause we're only here for a little while
