Lyrics
DO IT WHILE YOU CAN Music and lyrics by Lisa Crouch
VERSE
Don't you know that I am grateful?
For the life that I am livin' and it's hateful
To take the gift that I was given and just waste it, not to taste it
Be the best I can be
Dream big! Live large! Take charge!
CHORUS
Do it while you can. Do it while you can
Get up, get out, dig in, right now! Dream big! Live large! Take charge!
Do it while you can
VERSE
And I know that it is hard
I know that times are tough, you give it all
But when you do you feel it's not enough
You're thinking life is gonna pass you by, you know it will if you don't even try
Dream big! Live large! Take charge!
CHORUS
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? (Marianne Williamson)
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. (INVICTUS - William Ernest Henley)
