Confusion among the masses,
They don't know which way to go.
Looking for direction to live life to perfection,
They've still got a way to go.

Slipping by as we take it for granted,
And once it's gone, no turning back.
Living in the future and we may never get there,
The past is forgotten and it's not yet past.

[chorus]
When I live,
I'm going to live like this is all we have.
When I live,
I promise to give.

Future plans and hopes and aspirations,
Where will we be a year from now?
Too many times, we live for tomorrow,
Take my hand i'll show you how...to live.

[repeat chorus]

You've got to hear me out.
You've got to take this time to live.
You've got to see me through all this pain.
...and live

Confusion among the masses,
Still don't know which way to go.
Looking for direction to live life to perfection.
They've still got a way to go.

[repeat chorus]
