Gonna hold who needs holding, mend what needs mending,
and walk what needs walking, though it means an extra mile,
and pray what needs praying, say what needs saying,
cause we're only here for a little while.
I'm gonna let him plug me in.
Today I stood singing songs and saying amen,
saying goodbye to an old friend that seemed so young.
Well, he spent his life working hard to chase that dollar,
putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done.
It made me stop.
It made me stop and think, what's the hurry, why the running?
I don't like what I'm becoming.
I'm gonna change my style.
I'm gonna take my time and not take this all for granted,
cause we're only here for a little while.
Gonna hold who needs holding, mend what needs mending,
and walk what needs walking, though it means an extra mile,
and pray what needs praying, say what needs saying,
cause we're only here for a little while.
So let me love like I'll never see tomorrow.
Treat each day like it's barren, and let me love like I'll never see tomorrow.
Like it's precious as a child
And take my hand
Let us reach out to each other
Cause we're only here for a little while
I'm gonna hold who needs holding
Mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking
Though it means an extra mile
And pray what needs praying
Say what needs saying
Cause we're only here for a little while
Come on now, whites.
I'm gonna hold who needs holding
Mend what needs mending
Walk what needs walking
Though it means that extra mile
Gonna pray what needs praying
Say what needs saying
Cause we're only here for a little while
What a great way to put a lid on
