I'm gonna hold who needs holding,
Mend what needs mending,
Walk what needs walking,
Though it means an extra mile,
Pray what needs praying,
Say what needs saying,
Cause we're only here for a little while.
One day I stood singing songs and saying amen,
Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young,
Well he spent his life working hard to chase a dollar,
Putting off until tomorrow,
But all the things I have done,
Made me stop and think,
What's the hurry while I'm running,
I don't like what I'm becoming,
I'm gonna change my style,
Take my time,
And not take it all for granted,
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,
Pray what needs praying,
Say what needs saying,
Cause we're only here for a little while.
Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow,
Treat each day as though it's borrowed,
Like it's precious as a child,
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,
Cause we're only here for a little while.
We're only here for a little while.
