The Best of Life

He had the best of life
Threw it all away
He had the best of life
Snatched from his grasp

We presumed tomorrow
Because we had today
Expected life to go on
Because it did before

Then one day it was gone
Time slipped through our hands
One treasure rusted and burnt
Give account of your things

Wanted another chance at life
Where it'd be different
But you only get one chance
And you settled for less
