Blink And You Are Dead 👁

entry picture

Blink and you are dead
Yes that's what I said
Life is but a grain of sand
Time is short nothing planned
Here today gone tomorrow 
Take your pick joy or sorrow
Blink and you are dead

What you got in your DNA
Do you think you are gonna be okay
You might stick around for a while
Eventually you will lose that smile
Make the most of it and believe 
Give love and you shall receive
Karma will see you all right
Don't ever give up the fight

You are what you eat okay
Cut out the processed crap hey
Look after your body and health
Your fitness is your wealth
Get out of your car woman and man
Run walk do the best you can
You get three score and ten yes
If you are lucky more I guess

Life is a journey what can I say
The road can be rocky okay
The end it comes one fine day
Be nice to people you meet on the way
Be a good and humble girl or guy
Money my friend love can't buy
The meek shall inherit the earth they say
You get what you deserve come what may

Blink and you are dead
Yes that's what I said
Life is but a grain of sand
Time is short nothing planned
Here today gone tomorrow 
Take your pick joy or sorrow
Blink and you are dead
