Acoustic/electric rock tune.

Story behind the song
This ditty may seem a bit preachy and self righteous but it is actually introspective rather than extroverted. This song is about how your perspective changes when you think your time is up. The week before Labor Day I had to fly to Frankfurt, Germany for business. Halfway across the Atlantic the pilot came on the intercom and told us we had to make an immediate u-turn due to “electrical problems” and return to the nearest airport in the US with the proper “facilities”. Like WTF does that mean?
Prior to this announcement I was obsessed with business thoughts and the upcoming meeting, as the subject was of the reorganization of my department. After this announcement all I could think of is my wife and kids, and dog (yes, in that order) oh yes and God. Funny, how he pops up at these times. Anyway this is just my version of the age-old message about enjoying life and appreciating your loved ones before you bite it.
Lyrics
We rush through our lives, looking for the final solution
Along the way we leave a lot of pollution
You’re always expected to go the extra mile
Regardless of the debris you leave in a pile
There’s no time for them and no time for you
I’ve got important things to do
I’ve got to get done and I’ve got to get through
After it’s over I’ll get back to you.
Watch what you do in your life
Watch what you do in your life
Watch what you do in your life
Watch what you do in your life
You might not be able to find your way back
You might not be able to find your way back
You might not be able to find your way back
You might not be able to find your way back
Take some time to make a resolution.
To return and clean up your pollution
It’s not always good to go the extra mile
If as you go you remove too many a smile
It’s never too late to say I love you
It’s the most important thing you can do
Let’s forgive someone and start anew
After your gone they will miss you.
Watch what you do in your life
Watch what you do in your life
Watch what you do in your life
Watch what you do in your life
And then you’ll be able to find your way back
And then you’ll be able to find your way back
And then you’ll be able to find your way back
And then you’ll be able to find your way back
