me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I want to say
A message that I hope will reach
People who are throwing life away
I call it my philosophy
That is why I pass it on to you
Because it works so well for me
And as we get away from strife,
I hope you listen carefully
They say the truth will make you free,
and that's the way you want to be
Cause brother, this is your life,
long as you're living
Always remember, time is for spending,
but there's an ending
While you are sleeping,
lifetime is creeping
Wake up and taste it,
foolish to waste it
Sample and savor, all of life's flavor
Long as you're living
Long as you're living
Al ways remember
Folks who are lazy
Are just plain crazy
Gotta keep moving
Keep on improving
You won't be hurried
After you're buried
Love every minute
Put yourself in it
Long as you're living
Long as you're living,
always remember
You'll never beat life,
don't try to cheat life
All men are brothers, do unto others
Love's for enjoying,
hate's for destroying
Never forget it, or you'll regret it
Long as you're living
Forgive me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I want to say
A message that I hope will reach
People who are throwing life away
I call it my philosophy
That is why I'm passing on to you
Because it works so well for me
And helps me get away from strife
I hope you listen carefully
They say the truth will make you free
And that's the way you want to be
Cause brother, this is your life
