26. Chris Rice, “Life Means So Much” 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 and believe and think So will you compose a curse Or will today bring the blessings Fill the pages with rhyming verse Or some random sketchings (chorus) Teach us to count the days Teach us to make the days count Lead us in better ways Somehow our souls forgot Life means so much, Life means so much, Life means so much

27. Chris Rice, “Life Means So Much” Every day is a bank account And time is our currency So no one's rich, nobody's poor We get twenty four hours each So how are you gonna spend Will you invest or squander Try to get ahead Or help someone who's under (Chorus) Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life? And didn't he give his own to show the worth of yours and mine? Every day is a gift you've been given Make the most of the time every minute you're living.
