Chris Rice - Life Means So Much lyrics

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 and believe and think

So will you compose a curse

Or will today bring the blessings?

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 no one's rich, nobody's poor

We get 24 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 lived who knew the value of a life?

And don't you think giving is all

That 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...)

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, yeah

Life means so much
