Don't Waste Your Life - Ginny Owens

I’ve been tryin' to make a living, but I haven’t got a life

Chasing dreams with tunnel vision, I’m running out of time

Somewhere I lost what I’ve been missing

I look but never find

I never find

Stopped long enough to pray for wisdom

And I waited for an answer

Opened up my heart to listen

What is it I’m here for

And in the noise of all my questions

I finally heard a whisper

A still, small whisper

Don’t waste your life

Wishing, hoping, waiting for a better day

You know that would be a shame

Shine, shine your light

Bigger, brighter, for the whole world to see

Play your part in history

Don’t waste your life

So I’m making this my mission

I’ve made up my mind

Even I can make a difference

One story at a time

When I forget what I’ve been given

I can always find

A lesson in these lines—

Don’t waste your life

Wishing, hoping, waiting for a better day

You know that would be a shame

Shine, shine your light

Bigger, brighter, for the whole world to see

Play your part in history

Don’t waste your life

In every choice that you make and every chance that you take

Don’t waste your life

In every prayer that you pray and every «I love you» that you say

Don’t waste your life

And when you find yourself afraid, just repeat this simple phrase

Don’t waste your life

Wishing, hoping, waiting for a better day

You know that would be a shame

Shine, shine your light

Bigger, brighter, for the whole world to see

Play your part in history

Don’t waste your life
