Lyrics John Reuben

John Reuben

Life Is Short

Come on everybody, it's about that time

Come on everybody, it's about that time

Come on everybody, it's about that time

This life is short, don't waste it

This life is what you make it

This life is short, don't waste it

This life is what you make it

Don't call it jiggy

Call it danceable

Throw out a beat to fill the dance floor

I'll be on the side just sittin' and watchin'

Happy and content vicariously rockin'

It's great to be alive and well

Still in the capitol where I reside and dwell

So tell me if you hear me loud and clearly

Reality's just a bit more near me

So we make the most of every given minute

Here's a jam for the world and the 7 billion in it

Limits we know not

Don't really want to stop

Go-getter's get what they got by goin' for it

Caught in this crazy mix over the years

Learned some tricks

Throw 'em on my records just for kicks

And it's obvious that if it's what God gives

See we gotta keep the energy positive

This life is short, don't waste it

Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is what you make it

What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

Hey, every new day brings a new day

To say thank you and relay my gratitude

For the time I've been given

Listen been given permission to embrace the rhythm

So live a little

Come on, breathe a little

Tell me, who wants to rhyme for close-minded people?

Not I

Okay good, me neither

This here feature won't follow procedure

Instead, the forecast includes a brainstorm

With elastic thinking to help me stretch the norm

Life's too short for me to conform

Daily renewal helps me transform

And live life to the utmost

Here's a toast to the future

Faith, love and hope

And all the things that truly remain and exist

It goes a little something like, like

This life is short, don't waste it

Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is what you make it

What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

Come on

Yeah

So, I'm thinkin' life... is... anyways... bring it back

Life's too short

To have enemies

I make no apologies for being friendly

Life's too short

To live in poverty

I'm not talking money, I'm talking mentally

Cause I've been broke and at the same time happy

I'm well aware of my history

So I approach life a little more humbly

Cause being full of yourself will leave you empty

This life is short, don't waste it

Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is what you make it

What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is short, don't waste it

This life is what you make it

This life is short, don't waste it

This life is what you make it
