Grateful For The Blues - Crow Taran
Every minute turns by
105 souls take their rest
The clock don't stop for no one
It's the reaper's cruel jest
Life's a fleeting candle
Burning down in the wind
So hold on to every moment
Don't let the blues begin
Oh, 105 gone each minute
Don't let your time slip away
1.78 every second
That's the price we pay
We're walking through the shadows
But the sun's still in the sky
Be grateful for each heartbeat
Before you say goodbye
In the streets of the cities
In the quiet country towns
The mortality train rolls
Never slowing down
So show I can have the reasons
For the inevitable pain
We could save a few more
But the story stays the same
Oh, 105 gone each minute
Don't let your time slip away
1.78 every second
That's the price we pay
We're walking through the shadows
But the sun's still in the sky
Be grateful for each heartbeat
Before you say goodbye
In the US, every two minutes
A life fades to black
Preventable injuries
No way to bring them back
We're caught in this rhythm
This endless cycle of time
But if you listen to the music
The living still can shine
Oh, 105 gone each minute
Don't let your time slip away
1.78 every second
That's the price we pay
We're walking through the shadows
But the sun's still in the sky
Be grateful for each heartbeat
Before you say goodbye
So live your life with wonder
In every breath you take
Each moment's a treasure
Each second a gift to make
The clock keeps on ticking
But the blues remind us true
Well, we're still here and living
Let's do what we're born to do
