VERSE 1
THE CREATOR MADE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT
TURNING DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
AND MARKED THE TIME BY STARS, THE MOON AND SUN
A TIME TO LIVE, A TIME TO DIE
OUR LIFE’S A VAPOR PASSING BY
THAT’S GONE JUST AS IT’S BEGUN

CHORUS
CAUSE LIFE IS LIKE AN HOURGLASS
THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED
AND MEM’RIES ARE WHAT’S LEFT WHEN WE MOVE ON
WE CAN'T TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
AND LIFE KEEPS TICKIN’ WITH EACH CHIME
MAKE IT COUNT BEFORE TIME HAS COME AND GONE

VERSE 2
THE DECISION’S UP TO YOU AND ME
WITH LIFE THERE’S NO GUARANTEE
DON’T PUT OFF WHAT YOU KNOW NEEDS DONE TODAY
THE TIME WE SPEND WITH ONES WE LOVE
IS ALL WE’LL WISH WE HAD MORE OF
RIGHT NOW THERE’S STILL TIME FOR CHANGE

CHORUS
CAUSE LIFE IS LIKE AN HOURGLASS
THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED
AND MEM’RIES ARE WHAT’S LEFT WHEN WE MOVE ON
WE CAN'T TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
AND LIFE KEEPS TICKIN’ WITH EACH CHIME
MAKE IT COUNT BEFORE TIME HAS COME AND GONE

BRIDGE
JUST ONE LIFE IS ALL WE GET
DON'T LIVE IT FULL OF PAST REGRETS
YOU MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE AGAIN
AS TIME RUNS OUT ON GOD'S CLOCK
TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK
TO BE READY WHEN ETERNITY BEGINS

CHORUS
CAUSE LIFE IS LIKE AN HOURGLASS
THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED
AND MEM’RIES ARE WHAT’S LEFT WHEN WE MOVE ON
WE CAN'T TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
AND LIFE KEEPS TICKIN WITH EACH CHIME
MAKE IT COUNT BEFORE TIME HAS COME AND GONE
IT’S COME AND GONE
