Woke up this morning, just like any other day
had no way of knowing I'd be washed away.
Sunrise looked so lovely, recall a twinkle in my eye
last thing I was thinking I was gonna die.

Promise me you'll remember
Promise me you'll care
Live each day for every moment, the next one may not be there.

Each person has a story, and everybody has a soul
all of that has to go somewhere, when it's time to go.
Big numbers lose their meaning, too large to comprehend,
think of all that energy released in the end.

Harness all that power and
don't let it go to waste
Live each day for every moment, don't let it all end in haste

This song is not a sad song, that's not my point of view
This song is a message from beyond intended as a gift to you.

It can all seem so distant, in space and already in time.
The human story has lots of twists, I guess this is mine.
One thing I remember, the one thing I regret
I still had lots of things to do that I hadn't done yet.

Promise me you'll remember
Promise me you'll care
Live each day for every moment, the next one may not be there.
Harness all that power and
don't let it go to waste
Live each day for every moment, don't let it all end in haste
