Sunday mornin' preacher said

"Life's a mist, it's just a breath

We're only here for a little while"

He talked about his daddy's grave

It read 1910 to '98

But the years between were just a little line

Got me wondering what I'm chasing

Don't want another minute wasted

There's a day we're born, day we pass

In between, there's just a dash

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

Yeah, I got time, but time goes fast

Yeah, that line is all I have

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

I could take this life and live it well

Or I could keep on living it for myself

What's He gonna say when He calls me up?

What's He gonna say?

Was I just words or was I love?

Did I love great or just good enough?

I just hope He says, "Well done"

What's He gonna say?

I keep on wondering what I'm chasing

Don't want another minute wasted

There's a day we're born, day we pass

In between, there's just a dash

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

Yeah, I got time, but time goes fast

Yeah, that line is all I have

What on earth am I doing?

Aye

What on earth am I doing?

Aye, 'cause real life's in the trenches, not from the stands

In our lofty benches with manicured hands

I want a dash that's dirty, a life fully spent

Weathered and scarred from all the life that I lived

The times that we go out of our way

To paint beautiful blue over somebody's grey

When we stopped and defended injustice

Or sanded the heart of a friend that got rusted

I don't know my number or year that I'll pass

From this cold world to the kingdom that lasts

But carpe diem it's worth it, to live it not blur it

Or years could fly by and you still ain't met purpose

There's a day we're born, day we pass

In between, there's just a dash

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

Yeah, I got time, but time goes fast

Fast

Yeah, that line is all I have

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

Life's short, but a vapor

What you gonna do?

What on earth am I doing?

What you gonna do with yours?

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?

What on earth am I doing?
