Life Is Going To Fast
(November 11 2018)
You wake up this morning
As you lay in bed
Thinking about the day
That is ahead of you
It’s 10 am
And you’re still in bed
As you think of the day
That is ahead of you
Life is going to fast
To stand back and watch
Life is going to fast
To stand in it’s path
Life is going to fast
To realize how fast
Life is going to fast
To make it last
Life is going to fast
To lay in bed
Life is going to fast
To make it your friend
Life is going to fast
To just ponder the past
Life is going to fast
To stay in the past
So get out bed
And live in the day
Make this your day
The way you want it
