Couplet 1

Sunday mornin’ preacher said
Life’s a mist
It’s just a breath
We’re only here
For a little while
He talked about
His daddy’s grave
It read 1910 to ‘98
But the years between
Were just a little line

Pré Refrain 1

Got me wondering
What I’m chasing
Don’t want
Another minute wasted

Refrain

There’s a day we’re born
Day we pass
In between
There’s just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line
Is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Couplet 2

I could take this life
And live it well
Or I could keep on
Living it for myself
What’s He gonna say
When He calls me up
Was I just words
Or was I love
Did I love great
Or just good enough
I just hope
He says well done

Pré Refrain 2

I keep on wondering
What I’m chasing
Don’t want
Another minute wasted

Refrain

There’s a day we’re born
Day we pass
In between
There’s just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line
Is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Pont

'Cause real life‘s in the trenches
Not from the stands
In our lofty benches
With manicured hands
I want a dash that’s dirty
A life fully spent
Weathered and scarred
From all the life that I lived
The times that we go
Out of our way
To paint beautiful blue
Over somebody’s grey
When we stopped
And defended injustice
Or sanded the heart
Of a friend that got rusted
I don’t know my number
Or year that I’ll pass
From this cold world
To the kingdom that lasts
But carpe diem it’s worth it
To live it not blur it
Or years could fly by
And you still ain’t met purpose

Refrain

There’s a day we’re born
Day we pass
In between
There’s just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line
Is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Outro

What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
