While We Can
Seizing Moments: Embracing Life's Countdown with Gary Luong's 'While We Can'
Lyrics
Someday my hourglass will
Someday, my time will run out like sand in an hourglass.
Run dry right to the hour now
It's getting closer to the end, ticking down the moments.
Counting down
Counting down the time left.
And when the sun falls down
At sunset, the work of the day is done.
The day is done worked to the bone
After a day of hard work, recognizing the effort put in.
I'll know that I gave it all I got
Knowing that maximum effort was given.
The greatest gift is in your hands slipping through
The most precious things are slipping away despite our efforts to hold onto them.
Our fingers like the sand, oh
Time passing away, likened to the slipping sand.
Counting down
Continuing to count down the remaining time.
Before its time to say goodbye
Acknowledging that it will soon be time to bid farewell.
Lets slip out and watch the stars tonight
Suggesting spending time together watching stars before parting.
Just you and I
Emphasizing sharing a moment between two people.
We still got time
Recognizing there's still time left to live.
To be alive
Embracing the opportunity of being alive at the moment.
Lets live a life
Encouraging living life to the fullest.
While we can
Emphasizing the importance of living while one still has the chance.
While we can
Reiterating the urgency to make the most of the present.
Today's a brand a new chapter
Today represents a new beginning, a fresh start.
The pages turning for you now
The chapters of life are turning for someone.
Counting down
Continuing to count down the time remaining.
And when the sun falls down
Reflecting on the journey when the day comes to an end.
We'll look back on how far we've come
Looking back on progress made.
I'll know that
Realizing that maximum effort was given collectively.
We gave it all we got
Understanding that the greatest gift is the time we have.
The greatest gift is all we have, slipping through
Time slipping away despite efforts to hold onto it.
Our fingeres like the sand
Continuing the metaphor of time slipping away.
Counting down
Continuing to count down the remaining time.
Before it's time to say goodbye
Recognizing the approaching moment of parting.
Lets slip out and watch the stars tonight
Suggesting spending time together watching stars before parting.
Just you and I
Emphasizing sharing a moment between two people.
We still got time
Realizing there's still time left to live.
To be alive
Embracing the opportunity of being alive at the moment.
Lets live a life
Encouraging living life to the fullest.
While we can
Emphasizing the importance of living while one still has the chance.
While we can
Reiterating the urgency to make the most of the present.
Let's live a life
Encouraging living life to the fullest.
While we can
Emphasizing the importance of living while one still has the chance.
Lets live a life
Encouraging living life to the fullest.
While we can
Emphasizing the importance of living while one still has the chance.
While we can
Reiterating the urgency to make the most of the present.
