[Verse 1]

There's a reason for all that rhymes

It's the fact and the way of the times

Moving emotion

It's high and it's low, no matter where you go

[Verse 2]

There is something for all who look

There's a story in every book

All of the pages

Between all the lines, so much that you can find

[Chorus]

But there's too many empty lives, my friend

And we just can't let 'em waste away

For this life is a precious thing, my friend

And we can't wait another day

[Verse 3]

There's a message in every word

And it's more than the word you heard

Moving emotion

It comes like a sea, washing all over me

[Chorus]

But there's nothing that we can't do, my friend

Cause the spirit is with us all

Oh, it's here and it's now, it's up and it's down

You can feel it surrounding us all

[Bridge]

After all, it's all the same

Only difference is the name, and where we are

In this crazy, mixed-up deal

There's so many things to feel, near and far

It's where you are!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

And there's times when I can't contain

All the life and the love I'll gain

There for the asking

It's for all of you, if you would take it too

[Chorus]

But there's too many empty lives, my friend

And we just can't let 'em waste away

For this life is a precious thing, my friend

And we can't wait another day
