Life In A Day Lyrics

Life In A Day
The price that you pay
For time that you spent
It's such a fatal event
Take a look at your watch
There is no time to wait
Take a look deep inside
There's no escape from this day

Life In A Day
Life In A Day
Take a look around you
Is it true what they say
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
Is there no place to hide
Could there be some other way

Can you see how they run
Do you believe what they say
They'll soon be looking for you
For sure they'll get you away
The premonition came true
Look all around and you'll see
Some say it takes two to know
Or could it all just be me

Life In A Day
Life In A Day
I love to see how they run
They came a running this way
Life In A Day
Life In A Day
No sence in looking for you
They're going to get you one day

Life In A Day
Life In A Day

Cover art for Life In A Day lyrics by Simple Minds

Jim Kerr who wrote the lyrics once posted the meaning on Facebook. This was his post:-\n\nI’m not looking to change anything. No amount of guilt can change what has already happened anyway.\nNevertheless, I do understand that during my younger years my intensity was sometimes difficult for others to put up with.\nI thought I was merely being determined - and that that was a good thing. Still do.\nWhat is the alternative when the odds against you achieving even the smallest amount of all you have hoped for, are stacked so high that people advised. “It might be better not to dream so big.”\nSame types were always too ready to give the warning. “Beware that light at the end at the end of the tunnel you think you see - it might be a freight train coming your way. Etc.”\nWell, struggling to hold ‘my universe’ together as often I was back then. I’d rather have met that train head on than surrender hope.\nBeing ‘yourself’ in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is an accomplishment.\nMy obsession with that kind of thinking took shape as the lyrical theme behind our first release ‘Life In A Day.’
