Every day is a journal page Every man holds a quill and ink And there's plenty of room for writing in All we do is believe and think So will you compose a curse Or will today bring the blessings? Fill the page with rhyming verse Or some random sketching Teach us to count the days Teach us to make the days count Lead us in better ways Somehow our souls forgot Life means so much, life means so much, life means so much Every day is a bank account And time is our currency So no one's rich, nobody's poor We get twenty-four hours each So how are you gonna spend Will you invest or squander Try to get ahead Or help someone who's under Teach us to count the days Teach us to make the days count Lead us in better ways Somehow our souls forgot Life means so much, life means so much, life means so much Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life And don't you think giving is all will prove the worth of yours and mine? Teach us to count the days Teach us to make the days count Lead us in better ways Somehow our souls forgot Life means so much Every day is a gift you've been given Make the most of the time every minute you're living Every day is a gift you've been given Make the most of the time every minute you're living Lead us in better ways Somehow our souls forgot Life means so much, life means so much, life means so much Every day is a gift you've been given Make the most of the time every minute you're living
