Life Means so Much

Every day is a journal page
 Every man holds a quill and ink
 And there's plenty of room for writing in
 All we do is believe and think
 So will you compose a curse
 Or will today bring the blessing
 Fill the page with rhyming verse
 Or some random sketching
 Teach us to count the days
 Teach us to make the days count
 Lead us in better ways
 That somehow our souls forgot
 Life means so much
 Life means so much
 Life means so much
 Every day is a bank account
 And time is our currency
 So nobody's rich, nobody's poor
 We get twenty-four hours each
 So how are you gonna spend
 Will you invest, or squander
 Try to get ahead
 Or help someone who's under
 Teach us to count the days
 Teach us to make the days count
 Lead us in better ways
 That somehow our souls forgot
 Life means so much
 Life means so much
 Life means so much
 Has anybody ever lived who knew the value of a life
 And don't you think giving is all
 What proves the worth of yours and mine
 Teach us to count the days
 Teach us to make the days count
 Lead us in better ways
 That somehow our souls forgot
 Life means so much
 Every day is a gift you've been given
 Make the most of the time, every minute you're living
