Paroles de Get Busy Living

Every single day, someone is born and someone dies

It wasn't long ago my uncle passed and my little niece came to life

I get to thinking about my time to go and it won't be long from now
I shiver inside at the chance that I might leave a life untouched by a vow



Chorus: And I believe tonight is the night that I decide

That I get busy living and I get ready to die

So that when the fateful day does come when I'm six feet in the ground

The poor and the weak and the orphan and meek will miss having me around



When I pass I don't wanna leave a life of regret

So I give rise to change today by trying not to forget

That pleasures do pass and sunrises end and stars do fade away
Chorus



I want that final breath to be the sweetest of all

And it will be certainty if I answer the call

To help all those in need and decipher the meaning of life

'Cause the seekers of truth they fear not death anymore than they fear life



Chorus
