We will all our heads look
sunk and strange
once we're in the ground,
so while we are above it
best we keep them on our shoulders.
Cool when the weather turns hot,
warm when the night turns cold.
What matters, to ourselves,
is what we say we'll do
and how we do what was said,
until that changes,
then that will matter too.
Stressed we are when stretched
across the rack
our reputation and our station,
better ration while we have the smokes,
not burn em' cuz we hold em.
To act as if tomorrow comes
creates a worthy you today.
If beads are slung awild
then the sacrament is lost.
If sin were measured every now,
we'd all be on our best.
So if it tallies, make it count,
yes all the days have numbers,
and you won't know until too late,
no you won't know
until that day
is early on you.
"early on you " is a very nice turn of words.
Living like there's "no tomorrow" is a hard option to follow.
This is 'way cool --
"To act as if tomorrow comes
creates a worthy you today."
The rush from "yes all the days have numbers..." to the end is wonderful in sound and in sense.
Thank you.
