24 - Jem

Been given 24 hours

To tie up loose ends, to make amends

His eyes said it all, I started to fall

And the silence deafened

Head spinning 'round, no time to sit down

Just wanted to run and run and run"

"Be careful," they say, "don't wish life away"

Now I've one day

And I can't believe

How I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours, they'll be laying flowers

On my life, it's over tonight

I'm not messing, no I

Need your blessing

And your promise to live free

Please do it for me

Is there a Heaven, a Hell?

And will I come back, who can tell?

Now I can see what matters to me

It's as clear as crystal

The places I've been, people I've seen

Plans that I made start to fade

The sun's setting gold

Thought I would grow old

It wasn't to be

And I can't believe

How I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours, they'll be laying flowers

On my life, it's over tonight

I'm not messing, no I

Need your blessing

And your promise to live free

Please do it for me

In 13 hours, they'll be laying flowers

On my life, it's over tonight

I'm not messing, no I

Need your blessing

And your promise to live free

Please do it for me

I'm not alone

I sense it, I sense it

All that I said

I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe

How much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours, they'll be laying flowers

On my life, it's over tonight

I'm not messing, no I

Need your blessing

And your promise to live free

Please do it for me

In just 1 hour, they'll be laying flowers

On my life, it's over tonight

I'm not messing, no I

Need your blessing

And your promise to live free

Please do it for me
