On Your Final Day
                         By

[VERSE]

Every day I find myself, another face in the crowd

I wonder how my mother's doing, in her place above the clouds

I wonder what my father thinks, if he thinks of her at all

Will anyone even know I'm gone, when the reaper comes to call

 

[CHORUS]

Nothing left but dying, on your final day

Every one above ground, a good one so they say

How you live, when you know the end, is racing your way

Makes all the difference in the world, on your final day

 

[VERSE]

I know you're thinking to yourself, I'm not going anywhere

But sooner than later, time runs short, might as well prepare

You might cheat on your taxes, but you can't cheat your way through life

When your time comes, the reaper will take you

No matter how hard you try to fight

 

[CHORUS]

Nothing left but dying, on your final day

Every one above ground, a good one so they say

How you live, when you know the end, is racing your way

Makes all the difference in the world, on your final day

 

[VERSE]

Some people listening to these words, might think I'm preoccupied with death

I should make the best of things, in the time I've got left

But I don't see things quite that way, who are they to say what's right

Every thing is born, dying, that's a simple fact of life

 

[CHORUS]

Nothing left but dying, on your final day

Every one above ground, a good one so they say

How you live, when you know the end, is racing your way

Makes all the difference in the world, on your final day

 

How you live, when you know the end, is racing your way

Makes all the difference in the world, on your final day
