Long a You're Living

Oscar Jr. Brown, Julian Anthony Priester, Thomas Walter Turrentine

forgive me if i seem to preach
but there is something that i want to say
a message that i hope will reach
people who are throwing life away
i call it my philosophy
that is why i pass it on to you
because it works so well for me
it helps me get away from strife
i hope you listen carefully
they say the truth will make you free
and that's the way you want to be
'cause brother this is your life
long as you're livin'
always remember
time is for spendin'
but there's an ending
while you are sleepin'
lifetime is creepin'
wake up and taste it
foolish to waste it
sample and savor
all of it's flavor
long as you're livin'
long as you're livin'
always remember
folks who are lazy
are playing crazy
better keep movin'
keep on improvin'
you won't be hurried
after you're buried
live every minute
put yourself in it
long as you're livin'
long as you're livin'
always remember
you'll never beat life
don't try to cheat life
all in are brothers
do unto others
love's for enjoying
hate's for destroying
never forget it
or you'll regret it
long as your livin
forgive me if i seem to preach
but there is something that i want to say
a message that i hope will reach
people who are throwing life away
i call it my philosophy
that is why i pass it on to you
because it works so well for me
it helps me get away from strife
i hope you listen carefully
they say the truth will make you free
and that's the way you want to be
'cause brother this is your life
