Borrowed Time

Where do you go from here
When love tears down the fortress
That you've made with all your fears
There are years of regret, of shame and condemnation
But God comes to you today to say
"Today is your salvation"

Well the clock is ticking
Are you gonna start living
'Cause you've really only got this life
And we're living on borrowed time
Don't you know what you've been given
So while the world's still spinning
Light a candle in your heart and shine
'Cause we're living on borrowed time

No one's getting out alive
But maybe life is how you live the days before you die
Do you have the strength to be empty-handed and forgiven
Can you hear the angels screaming, "Today is your salvation?"

Well the clock is ticking
Are you gonna start living
'Cause you've really only got this life
And we're living on borrowed time
Don't you know what you've been given
So while the world's still spinning
Light a candle in your heart and shine
'Cause we're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time

Last night
Right now
Next week
Somehow
Love's the same
Love won't change
Love won't change
Love won't change

Well the clock is ticking
Are you gonna start living
'Cause you've really only got this life
And we're living on borrowed time
Don't you know what you've been given
So while the world's still spinning
Light a candle in your heart and shine
'Cause we're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time

I'm giving you all of mine
And we're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
I'm giving back all of mine
As we're living on borrowed time
