A little rain, 
A little shower, 
Let's take shelter they said, 
Now they say nothing, 
For death has come upon them, 
This might not sound as major, 
For luck was not in their favour, 
But it all depends on how you look at it, 
Life so short. 

It's funny how, 
The successful wish for life to go on, 
and the poor and the suffering wish for life to end, 
Two sides of the same coin, 
Two different points of view, 
Life so short. 

Sleep you'll do it tomorrow they said, 
There's always tomorrow they said, 
Do it later they said, 
There's still time they said, 
In the end only prayers were said. 
Life so short. 

The tomorrow that never comes, 
The next time that never reaches, 
The later that never get's here, 
The right time that never arrives, 
Life so short. 

Don't you get it, 
There is no later, 
No tomorrow, 
No next time, 
No guarantee, 
Death comes along anytime, 
Life so short. 

The greatest time in a man's life is , 
When He is born, 
When he finds out why, 
For a life spent grinding, 
Is a life far much better, 
Than a life full of worldly pleasures, 
For that is what they are worldly, 
Life so short.
