Lyrics:
Long as you’re living
Always remember
You’ll never beat life
So don’t try to cheat life

All men are brothers
Do unto others
Love’s for enjoying
Hate’s for destroying

Never forget it
Else you’ll regret it
Long as you’re living

Long as you’re living
Always remember
Time is for spending
But there’s an ending

While you are sleeping
Lifetime is creeping
Sample and savor
All of its flavor

Live every minute
Put yourself in it
Long as you’re living

Forgive me if I seem to preach
But there is something that I have to say
A message that I hope will reach
Some people who are throwing life away

I call it my philosophy
I now I want to hand it down to you
Because it works so well for me
It helps me get away from strife

Hope you’ll listen carefully
They say the truth will set you free
And that’s the way you ought to be
‘cause brother, This is your life!

Long as you’re living
Always remember
Folks who are lazy
They’re just plain crazy

Better keep movin’
Keep on improvin’
‘cause you won’t be hurried
after you’re buried

Live every minute
Put yourself in it
Long as you’re living
