Written in 2011.

lyrics

Looking at the skull in my hand,
"Did your life go as you'd planned?
If parched lips could speak, what would you say to me?"

Maybe you'd say, love your life 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd say, love your family 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd say, love the Lord your God 'cause time flies
and love never dies.

At 30 years you took your final breath
and gained the sweet relief that comes from death.
"If broken voice could sing, what notes your melody?"

Maybe you'd sing, love your life 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd sing, love your family 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd sing, love the Lord your God 'cause time flies
and love never dies.

Did you ever wonder, on the snow covered hills,
where you'd be 10,000 years from now?
Listening to the rolling thunder, I bet you didn't know
that I would write a song about you now.

I see the crack upon your brow
from the blow that brought you down.
"If hollow eyes could cry, what weeping would there be?"

Maybe you'd cry, love your life 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd cry, love your family 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd cry, love the Lord your God 'cause time flies.

Maybe you'd say, love your life 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd sing, love your family 'cause time flies.
Maybe you'd cry, love the Lord your God 'cause time flies
and His love never dies.
