[Verse 1]

Time flies and life passes

Already I seem to hear

The last trumpet singing

Oh, come out of the grave

You've scattered ashes and bones

Oh, rise again, you souls

[Chorus]

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

[Verse 2]

Oh, rise and tell us truly

If we should have served

This world or the king in heaven

To open our eyes to the truth

That life is but a breath of wind

That passes in a moment

[Chorus]

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

[Verse 3]

This mortal life

Has wings to fly so fast

And passes at such speed

The wind is thunderbolts

The day is swiftly kidnapped

And likewise the night

Winter and summer fade

A mission to eternity

Time which will not endure

Devours us and measures our span

All life is given from heaven

And then is whisked away

[Chorus]

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes

Today we are born and tomorrow we die

Time flies, life passes

Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone

Time flies, life passes
