Lyrics

Hey baby, are you gonna throw away
that which falls in your lap?
Just because you didn't have to break your back.
Hey baby, are you gona thow away
that which falls in your lap?
Well, my friend, I'd highly reccommend against that.

Hey man! You won't care
Until your dreams have disappeared
Into thin air.
So understand it won't be long
Until your opportunity
has come and gone.

There are many things in life we need
Sometimes, it's just not always easy to see
even though they pass before our nose
There are many things in life we need
Sometimes it not obvious to you or me
But we got to grab them while they're hot

There was once a man lost at sea
Drownin' he pleaded "Lord come resure me!"
And before him their came a boat
Threw hima rescue rope
And the man said thanks, but no thanks
I have faith my lord will rescue me

From above him there came a beating sound
It was a Coast Guard chopper
Lowering a rescue ladder down
But he said "Thanks, but no thanks!"
I have faith my Lord will rescue me.

The waves continued to submerge him
His situation grew dim
He went down and he did drown
And when he arrived at the Pearly Gates
He cried Lord "Why did you forsake
the mercy I tried to foster,
was my faith not easy to see?"
And the Lord said "I sent you a boat and
a helicopter!!!! What more do you want from me?!!??
What more do you want from me?"

So listen up

There are many things in life we need
Sometimes, it's just not always easy to see
even though they pass before our nose
There are many things in life we need
Sometimes it not obvious to you or me
So we got to grab them while they're hot

Some of the best things in life are free
All you got to do is reach out and
pull them off the tree, understand?
And grab them while you can!
And if we don't use our eyes to see
And accept all our gifts graciously
We're only wasting everything that could be.
