Long As You're Living - Abbey Lincoln[00:00:00]
Written by:Brown/Priester/Turrentine[00:00:02]
Forgive me if I seem to preach[00:00:23]
But there is something that I want to say[00:00:25]
A message that I hope will reach people who are throwing life away[00:00:27]
I call it my philosophy that is why I pass it on to you[00:00:31]
Because it works so well for me it helps me get away from strife[00:00:36]
I hope you listen carefully they say the truth will make you free[00:00:39]
And that's the way you want to be 'cause brother this is your life[00:00:43]
Long as you're livin' always remember[00:00:48]
Time is for spendin' but there's an ending[00:00:52]
While you are sleepin' lifetime is creepin'[00:00:56]
Wake up and taste it foolish to waste it[00:01:00]
Sample and savor all of it's flavor[00:01:04]
Long as you're livin'[00:01:08]
Long as you're livin' always remember[00:01:12]
Folks who are lazy are playing crazy[00:01:16]
Better keep movin' keep on improvin'[00:01:20]
You won't be hurried after you're buried[00:01:24]
Live every minute put yourself in it[00:01:28]
Long as you're livin'[00:01:32]
Long as you're livin' always remember[00:01:36]
You'll never beat life don't try to cheat life[00:01:40]
All in are brothers do unto others[00:01:44]
Love's for enjoying hate's for destroying[00:01:48]
Never forget it or you'll regret it[00:01:52]
Long as your living[00:01:56]
Forgive me if I seem to preach[00:02:00]
But there is something that I want to say[00:02:02]
A message that I hope will reach people who are throwing life away[00:02:04]
I call it my philosophy that is why I pass it on to you[00:02:08]
Because it works so well for me it helps me get away from strife[00:02:12]
I hope you listen carefully they say the truth will make you free[00:02:16]
And that's the way you want to be 'cause brother this is your life[00:02:20]
