Only Here for a Little While

I'm gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though, it means an extra mile

Pray what needs praying

Say what needs saying

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Today, I stood, singing songs and saying "Amen"

Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young

Well, he spent his life working hard to chase a dollar

Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done

Made me stop and think, "What's the hurry, why the running?

I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style

Take my time and not take it all for granted

'Cause we're only here for a little while"

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though, it means an extra mile

Pray what needs praying

Say what needs saying

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow

Treat each day as though it's borrowed

Like it's precious as a child

Oh, take my hand

Let us reach out to each other

'Cause we're only here for a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though, it means an extra mile

Pray what needs praying

Say what needs saying

'Cause we're only here

For a little while

Gonna hold who needs holding

Mend what needs mending

Walk what needs walking

Though, it means an extra mile

Pray what needs praying

Say what needs saying

'Cause we're only here

For a little while
