Verse 1
I woke up this morning
Saw another one gone.
A young life just waiting for tomorrow's fun
Little did they know that
That bright day would never come.
Chorus
Don't blink, don't close your eyes
Life is but a moment
One that we must not waste
Today is the day to live
Tomorrow can worry on its own
Cause life is but a moment.
Verse 2
The world is spinning faster
Even though life has just begun.
The old ones are watching
Reminding us of days gone by.
Little did we know that
Our time is here right now.
Don't wait for the future.
Chorus
Don't blink, don't close your eyes
Life is but a moment
One that we must not waste
Today is the day to live
Tomorrow can worry on its own
Cause life is but a moment.
Bridge (x2)
Don't worry about tomorrow
For tomorrow has enough troubles of its own.
Life is out there just waiting
For you to step out into faith.
End Chorus (x2)
Don't blink, don't close your eyes
Life is but a moment
One that we must not waste
Today is the day to live
Tomorrow can worry on its own
Tag
Cause life is but a moment.
Life is but a moment.

The lyrics to this song were originally written in 2019 (minus the bridge). The music and the bridge were added and written in February of 2021.
Scripture inspiration - Matthew 6:34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
The overall theme of this song was inspired by the tragic and early deaths of Cameron Boyce and Truett McKeehann (the son of TobyMac) who both passed away in 2019.
