"— [DASH]" lyrics

Sunday mornin'
Preacher said
Life's a mist it's just a breath
We're only here for a little while
He talked about
His daddy's grave
It read 1910 to '98
But the years between were just a little line

Got me wondering what I'm chasing
Don't want another minute wasted

There's a day we're born
Day we pass
In between there's just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

I could take this life
And live it well
Or I could keep on living it for myself
What's He gonna say when He calls me up?
Was I just words
Or was I love
Did I love great or just good enough
I just hope He says well done

I keep on wondering what I'm chasing
Don't want another minute wasted

There's a day we're born
Day we pass
In between there's just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Cause real life's in the trenches, not from the stands
In our lofty benches with manicured hands
I want a dash that's dirty, a life fully spent
Weathered and scarred from all the life that I lived
The times that we go out of our way
To paint beautiful blue over somebody's grey
When we stopped and defended injustice
Or sanded the heart of a friend that got rusted
I don't know my number or year that I'll pass
From this cold world to the kingdom that lasts
But carpe diem it's worth it ...to live it not blur it
Or years could fly by and you still ain't met purpose

There's a day we're born
Day we pass
In between there's just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Life's short, but a vapor
What you gonna do, what you gonna do with yours
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
