Lyrics
Woke up this morning, just like any other day,
had no way of knowing IÂ?d be washed away.
Sunrise looked so lovely, recall a twinkle in my eye,
last thing I was thinkinÂ? I was gonna die.
Promise me youÂ?ll remember
Promise me youÂ?ll care
Live each day for every moment; the next one may not be there.
Each person has a story, and everybody has a soul.
All of that has to go somewhere, when itÂ?s time to go.
Big numbers lose their meaning, too large to comprehend.
Think of all that energy, released in the end.
Harness all that power
DonÂ?t let it go to waste
Live each day for every moment, donÂ?t let it all end in haste.
This song is not a sad song, thatÂ?s not my point of view.
This song is a message from beyond intended as a gift to you.
It can all see so distant, in space and already in time.
The human story has lots of twists, I guess this is mine.
One thing I remember, the one thing I regret,
I still had lots of things to do I hadnÂ?t done yet.
Promise me youÂ?ll remember
Promise me youÂ?ll care
Live each day for every moment; the next one may not be there.
Harness all that power
DonÂ?t let it go to waste
Live each day in every moment, thereÂ?s not enough time to waste.
