Life in a day

The price that you pay

For time that you spent

Its such a fatal event

Take a look at your watch

There is no time to wait

Take a look deep inside

Theres no escape from this day

Life in a day

Take a look around you

Is it true what they say

Life in a day

Is there no place to hide

Could there be some other way

Can you see how they run

Do you believe what they say

They’ll soon be looking for you

For sure they’ll get you away

The premonition came true

Look all around and you’ll see

Some say it takes two to know

Or could it all just be me

Life in a day

I love to see how they run

They came a running this way

Life in a day

No sence in looking for you

They’re going to get you one day

Life in a day
