LYRICS

It’s not just that every day
More and more
Of our life is used up
And less and less
Of it is left
It’s not just that every day
More and more
Of our life is used up
And less and less
Of it is left
And less and less
Of it is left
But this too:
If we live longer
How can we be sure
Our mind will still be up
To understanding
The world
To the contemplation
That aims at divine and human knowledge?
If our mind starts to wander
We'll still go on breathing
Go on eating
Perspiration
Imagination
Feeling urges and so on
Will not fail
All that will not fail
But the power
Of making the most use of ourselves
Calculating where our duty lies
Analyzing
What we hear and see
Deciding whether it's time
To depart from life
All the things you need a healthy mind for
Those are gone
We must make haste then
Not just because we daily move
Closer to death
But also cause our understanding
Our grasp of the world
May be gone before we get there
It may be gone before we get there

It’s not just that every day
More and more
Of our life is used up
And less and less
Of it is left
It’s not just that every day
More and more
Of our life is used up
And less ..
