Last Day On Earth

Its actually here

wipe the sleep from my eyes

Time to get outta bed

start this busy day of demise

Got lots to do

and so much to say

And its got to be done

by the end of the day

 

Im skipping the shower

ill just brush my hair

Im not sure that it matters

just as long as im there

Where am I goin?

Im not sure that I know

And time is to short

to just go with the flow

 

No need for goodbyes

its ending for all

That rules out the visit

or the dreadful phone call

With all that outta the way

it leaves my day open wide

But time ticks away

as I stop to decide

 

Reality hits me

so I jump to my feet

What the hell am I doin?

I got a bucket list to complete

I jump in my car

and get on my way

To fit all I can

into this day

 

Hours fly by

im having a blast

My soul is so free

ive left all pain in the past

I do this & that

I go here & there

I complete every mission

and I conquor all fear

 

Happy & fulfilled

alone in my car

Ive got people to meet

and the drives not that far

So I stop & pull over

Ive got a second to spare

Thats one thing you realize

when the end is near

If i had to do it over

is there any regret

What memories should come with me

and which should I forget

 

With all my thoughts sorted

no more time to spear

Im free as a bird

without a worry or care

Im excited to meet

all the people I love

For our journey to start

to our new home above

We all hold hands together

at the end of the night

This takes away all fear

as we walk into the light
