As I sit here and I play I think of all those yesterdays
When I chose to be alone, griddled up in my own home
How I wasted all those days, now they've passed and gone away
Never to return again to me
Life is short, so grab it by the hand
Make the most of all the time you have to spend
Don't waste your life away, treasure each and every day
No one knows just when those days will end
I've heard many people say you've got to live a certain way
You need to strive to be the best, you need to master every test
But is that really true? Does it mean so much to you?
Or are you chasing someone else's dream?
Life is short, so grab it by the hand
Make the most of all the time you have to spend
Don't waste your life away, treasure each and every day
No one knows just when those days will end
Now it's easy to believe that you're the only one who feels
Left out and all alone, that your time has passed and gone
That you could have done much more, but for the hardships you endure
Or is that just a lie you tell yourself?
Life is short, so grab it by the hand
Make the most of all the time you have to spend
Don't waste your life away, treasure each and every day
No one knows just when those days will end
I guess the lesson to be shared is that it's easy to be scared
To be overwhelmed with thoughts of the things that could have been
You have to put that in the past, make each new moment last
Today could be the first day of your life
Life is short, so grab it by the hand
Make the most of all the time you have to spend
Don't waste your life away, treasure each and every day
No one knows just when those days will end
No one knows just when those days will end
