Spend a Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody's got a balance
But no one knows how much
There's no way to run the numbers
No way to count it up
And we're pouring out our fortunes
In the moments
Both the big and the small
Yea, we gotta spend it all
All I have is what you gave
Watching seconds turn to days
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
A few more turns around the Sun
Could be hundreds, could be one
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time
Show me how to spend a life, ay-ay-ay-ayy
Show me how to spend a life, uh-uhh, yea
I have never seen a tombstone
Say, I didn't work enough
Nobody ever heard a father
Say, I held my kids too much
God, I wanna run after
What really matters
So remind me when I fall
How a good man spends it all
All I have is what you gave
Watching seconds turn to days
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
A few more turns around the Sun
Could be hundreds, could be one
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time
Show me how to spend a life, ay-ay-ay-ayy
Show me how to spend a life, uh-uhh
Don't let me waste it
Don't let me lose it
Don't let me steal it for myself
No, no-o-o-oo
I know it's precious
I know it's priceless
I know my time is flying by
Show me how to spend a life, mm-mmm
Show me how to spend a life, yea
'Cause all I have is what you gave
Watching seconds turn to days
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
A few more turns around the Sun
Could be hundreds, could be one
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time, yea
Show me how to spend a life, ay-ay-ay-ayy
Show me how to spend a life, oh-ooh-oh-oh-ohh
Show me how to spend a life (show me, show me, show me)
Show me how to spend a life (show me, show me, show me)
Show me how to spend a life
