Lyrics
THE TIME OF OUR LIFE
(Linda Finkle c 2001)
Hey there, you out there, how?s your merlot, how?s your latte
What did you do today to make this world a better place
Have you thought about anyone but you
Or just bought to fill the void that just grows and grows and grows and grows
Till it?s ready to implode
Yeah I feel it everyday
So do you no matter what you say
Here I am right in the prime of my life, the perfect mother and wife
Having the time of my life
There they are, long days just riddled with strife, disease and poverty rife
Having the time of their life
Now you?re saying, and you?re probably right
That you don?t need to listen to this stuff
You?ve worked hard for everything that you have
Yeah, so what?s your point
Can you stop and feel what they feel
Maybe not, but just try to think of someone but yourself
Give your brother a little help
Or ,whatever, do what you want
It?s all the same, you bon vivant
Here I am right in the prime of my life?
Can one person really make a difference
Really change the way that you live
Are you willing to be that person
To open up your wallet and to give
Here I am right in the prime of my life?
