The Dash
The Dash
I hope you find a reason
To open up that bottle
Of twenty year old whiskey
Catching dust up on your shelf
And if you’re holding on to dreams
You swear someday you’ll follow
Just remember you can’t hand ‘em off
To anybody else
Tomorrow ain’t a promise it’s a gift
Every day’s another chance to live
Chorus:
When your spirit meets the sky
And the chisel meets the stone
The day you’re born, the day you die
That’s all anyone will know
But all your greatest highs and lows
Are in that horizontal line
Dust to dust, ash to ash
Life is all about the dash
And when you’re standing at the crossroads
Of fear and taking chances
And that road nobody travels
Is calling out your name
Are you gonna take that first step
Or sit their on the fence, it’s
A chance to change your story
Or leave it all the same
Be proud of the footprints that you leave
Cuz in the end we’re nothing more than memories
Bridge:
Don’t we all want to leave a mark
On something more than granite?
