ONE DAY TO LIVE

I've got a day to live
More than a thousand years
I've got a day to live
Before I'd sleep away


I'm a big bag
Full of sand, bones and fibre
I'm on an errand
I'd go very soon.
I've got a day to live
I'll do my best
When it rains
I'd find a shade
When sun shines
I'd run  and hide
Life is tears
A pleasure of torment
I'd do my best
And leave the rest for you
I've got a day to live
A mayfly indeed
Life; full of weeds
Thistles and thorns
I'd live only a day
Just like a thousand years
I've got a day to live
Before they come calling
Never do cry
I'll say goodbye
My time is short
I'll soon be gone
And when I'm gone
I'll live a thousand years
All in a day
