Every day is a journal page   Every man holds a quill and ink   And there's plenty of room for writing in   All we do is believe and think   So will you compose a curse   Or will today bring the blessing   Fill the page with rhyming verse   Or some random sketching      Teach us to count the days   Teach us to make the days count   Lead us in better ways   That somehow our souls forgot   Life means so much   Life means so much   Life means so much      Every day is a bank account   And time is our currency   So nobody's rich, nobody's poor   We get 24 hours each   So how are you gonna spend   Will you invest, or squander   Try to get ahead   Or help someone who's under      Teach us to count the days   Teach us to make the days count   Lead us in better ways   That somehow our souls forgot   Life means so much   Life means so much   Life means so much      Has anybody ever lived who knew the value of a life   And don't you think giving is all    What proves the worth of yours and mine      Teach us to count the days   Teach us to make the days count   Lead us in better ways   That somehow our souls forgot   Life means so much      Every day is a gift you've been given   Make the most of the time every minute you're living
