Like the smoke from a fire
It's only there a little while
Well like the spark from that old flame
Yes it's there then it dissipates
Like the breeze on your face
It hits you once
It hits you so fast
Well like a freight train on its tracks
It goes right by you in one glance
Our lives
They go by so fast
So what are you living for
That's the question

Our lives are like vapor vapor
Like a rose that blossoms and then dies
The only true life is that rugged cross
Yes it stands to give us life

All throughout history
It has been the same story
Yes we live and then we die
I'll say it again we don't have much time
Well you say you're still young
Still havin' fun
You'll live for Him when you're done
But you don't know when you're gonna die
It could be today
It could be tomorrow

Our lives are like vapor vapor
Like a rose that blossoms and then dies
The only true life is that rugged cross
Yes it stands to give us life
