24 Jem

Been given 24 hours
To tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
And the silence deafened

Head spinning round
No time to sit down
Just wanted to run and run and run
"Be careful," they say
Don't wish life away
Now I've one day

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

Is there a heaven, a hell?
And will I come back?
Who can tell?
Now I can see what matters to me
It's as clear as crystal

The places I've been
The people I've seen
Plans that I made start to fade
The sun's setting gold
Thought I would grow old
It wasn't to be

And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

In 13 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

I'm not alone
I sense it
I sense it
All that I said
I meant it
I meant it

And I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me

In just 1 hour they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
