Next 5 Minutes

I can reminisce about the already
I can worry and fret about the not yet;
But when it all comes down I know it really,
Really all comes down to the right now
So right now

I'm living the next 5 minutes
Like these are my last 5 minutes,
'Cause I know the next 5 minutes
May be all I have
And after the next 5 minutes
Turn into the last 5 minutes,
I'm taking the next 5 minutes
And starting all over again
Starting all over again (Starting all over again...)

Every moment God is giving is precious
Every heartbeat; every breath I take;
We'll never have them back once they've left us.
There will never be another right now
So right now

I'm living the next 5 minutes
Like these are my last 5 minutes,
'Cause I know the next 5 minutes
May be all I have
And after the next 5 minutes
Turn into the last 5 minutes,
I'm taking the next 5 minutes
And starting all over again

(This is the day;
This is the hour;
This is the moment
The Lord has made...)

I'm living the next 5 minutes
Like these are my last 5 minutes,
'Cause I know the next 5 minutes
May be all I have
And after the next 5 minutes
Turn into the last 5 minutes,
I'm taking the next 5 minutes
And starting all over again
I'm starting all over again
Gonna start it all over again, yeah.
Gonna start it all over again, oh hey.

I'm living the next 5 minutes
Like these are my last 5 minutes, yeah
I'm living the next 5 minutes
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live like these are my last 5 minutes
I'm living the next 5 minutes
Oh yay-yeah-yay
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live...
