Chorus / Description : The song This Life by Dan Bremnes expresses a desire to not waste time on worldly pursuits and to find true fulfillment in God. While it does not directly reference biblical verses, the lyrics reflect themes found in the Bible, such as the temporary nature of earthly life and the importance of seeking God's will.
When the time is around
I'm gonna leave this town
And all the life that I've found
Ain't gonna hold me down
Cause I'm a soul and I'm bound
To be released, not held
I'll be released, not held
I don't wanna waste my time on this life
On this life, because
I'm not gonna leave it as my home
I don't wanna spend my heart on last night
On this time, because
I'll leave this all, I know
From when the fall went down
We've been fading out
And all that's here on ground
Ain't gonna fill our heart's
So while the sun is up
I'm gonna sing this song
I'm gonna make it loud
I don't wanna waste my time on this life
On this life, because
I'm not gonna leave it as my home
I don't wanna spend my heart on last night
On this time, because
I'll leave this all, I know
This life ain't the real time
Giving all we got to make things right
This life ain't the real time now
This place ain't my hope and fire
Losing all I got to gain Your smile
This life ain't the real time now
I don't wanna waste my time on this life
On this life, because
I'm not gonna leave it as my home
I don't wanna spend my heart on last night
On this time, because
[?]
I don't wanna waste my time on this life
On this life, because
I'm not gonna leave it as my home
I don't wanna spend my heart on last night
On this time, because
I'll leave this all, I know
This life ain't the real time
Giving all we got to make things right
This life ain't the real time now
This place ain't my hope and fire
Losing all I got to gain Your smile
This life ain't the real time now
