Been given 24 hours
To tie up loose ends, to make amends
His eyes said it all, I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning 'round, no time to sit down
Just wanted to run and run and run"
"Be careful," they say, "don't wish life away"
Now I've one day
And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time
In 24 hours, they'll be laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
Is there a Heaven, a Hell?
And will I come back, who can tell?
Now I can see what matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been, people I've seen
Plans that I made start to fade
The sun's setting gold
Thought I would grow old
It wasn't to be
And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time
In 18 hours, they'll be laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
In 13 hours, they'll be laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
I'm not alone
I sense it, I sense it
All that I said
I meant it, I meant it
And I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time
In just 8 hours, they'll be laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
In just 1 hour, they'll be laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
