Lyrics

Forgive me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I want to say
A message that I hope will reach
People who are throwing life away
Call it my philosophy
That is why I pass it on to you
Because it worked so well for me
Helps me get away from strife
I hope you listen carefully
They say the truth will make you free
And that's the way you wanna be
'Cause brother, this is your life
Long as you're living, always remember
Time is for spending, but there's an ending
While you are sleeping, your lifetimes are creeping
Wake up and taste it, foolish to waste it
Sample and savor all of life's flavor
As long as you're living
Long as you're living, always remember
Folks who are lazy are plain crazy
You better keep moving, keep on improving
You won't be hurried after you're buried
Live every minute, put yourself in it
As long as you're living
Long as you're living, always remember
You'll never beat life, so don't try to cheat life
Sisters and brothers, do unto others
Love's for enjoying, hate's for destroying
Never forget it or you'll regret it
As long as you're living
Forgive me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I want to say
A message that I hope will reach
People who are throwing life away
Call it my philosophy
That is why I pass it on to you
Because it worked so well for me
Helps me get away from strife
I hope you listen carefully
They say the truth will make you free
And that's the way you wanna be
'Cause sister, this is your life
