Lyrics
SHORT LIFE
Short short life short short life
We gotta do what we gotta do while there's still time
We all have our dreams
Some of us more than others it seems
Some people give up and call it fate
But I say for me that it's never too late
Short short life short short life
We gotta do what we gotta do while there's still time
Here I am climbing up the walls
Just to get a piece of the pie
If I never try I will never be
There at the right place and time
Short short life short short life
We gotta do what we gotta do while there's still time
We got to do what we go to do right now
We got to do what we go to do right now
Short Life, short Life
Too many lives have made the same mistake
Sacrificing dreams for nothing but heartache
If it's true we're only here this once
I want to go out proud of the things that I've done
