I thought to travel far one day
But then I had to save
And I thought some other day
And here I am, with no time
I thought to spend more time with family
But then there was an urgent work
And I thought some other day
And here I am, thousand miles away
I thought to do something different
But then there were others to please
And I thought, why not do it their way
And here I am, living for others
There is always something or someone
But there is no other time
Do what you have to, do it now
'Cause there is no next life!
But then I had to save
And I thought some other day
And here I am, with no time
I thought to spend more time with family
But then there was an urgent work
And I thought some other day
And here I am, thousand miles away
I thought to do something different
But then there were others to please
And I thought, why not do it their way
And here I am, living for others
There is always something or someone
But there is no other time
Do what you have to, do it now
'Cause there is no next life!
So ,we have to do everything in the realm and time of this life only.
