For a little while
Gonna hold who needs holdin'

Though it means an extra mile

'Cause we're only here for a little while"
Mend what needs mendin'
Though it means an extra mile
Take my time and I take it all for granted

Say what needs sayin'
Like it's precious as a child
Say what needs sayin'
Treat each day as though it's borrowed
Pray what needs prayin'

Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done
Today I stood singin' songs and sayin','Amen'
Though it means an extra mile
'Cause we're only here
Pray what needs prayin'
Mend what needs mendin'
'Cause we're only here for a little while

For a little while
Made me start thinking, "What's the hurry, why the runnin'?
Pray what needs prayin'
Though it means an extra mile
Mend what needs mendin'

Walk what needs walkin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young
He spent his life workin' hard to chase a dollar
For a little while
Oh, take my hand
Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow
'Cause we're only here
Gonna hold who needs holdin'

'Cause we're only here
Say what needs sayin'
Walk what needs walkin'
Gonna hold who needs holdin'
'Cause we're only here
Say what needs sayin'
For a little while
Let us reach out to each other

Pray what needs prayin'
I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style
Walk what needs walkin'
