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's all I have
What on earth am I doing?
What on earth am I doing?
I could take this life and live it well
I could keep on living it for myself
What's He gonna say when He calls me up? (yeah 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's all I have
What on earth am I doing? (ay)
What on earth am I doing? (ay)
'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's 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 your life? (what on earth am I doing?)
(What on earth am I doing?)
(What on earth am I doing?)
