Kriss Tee Hang's 'Life Is Too Short' is a country gospel song that reflects on the brevity of life and the importance of prioritizing relationships and generosity over material pursuits. The lyrics challenge listeners to consider how they spend their time, urging them to care for others and not be consumed by wealth or fame. The song emphasizes that life passes quickly and cannot be relived, encouraging a focus on what truly matters. While it carries a moral and reflective tone, it does not explicitly mention God, Jesus, or Christian doctrine, making its connection to faith more implicit than direct.

Life Is Too Short (The Time)

Songwriter: Hubert Dapliyan


My friend, where have you been? Chasing money every now and then?

Building an empire of gold and desire, do you have time for yourself?

My friend, where have you been? Always busy time and again?

Counting your fortune, mountain of fame but have you got time for them?


Life is too short, now you?re thirty

Time flies and you'll be forty

Do you know how much time you?ve got?

Life is too short, now you?re fifty

If time allows, you?ll be sixty

We only live once in this world of no return


My friend where have you been? Burning money every now and then?

Spending to nothing instead of helping, did you notice the kids on the street?

My friend where have you been? Are you tired lying on this bed?

Crying and begging about your health, asking to buy a time machine?


Life is too short, now you?re thirty

Time flies and you'll be forty

Do you know how much time you?ve got?

Life is too short, now you?re fifty

If time allows, you?ll be sixty

We only live once in this world of no return


Life is too short, now you?re thirty

Time flies and you'll be forty

Do you know how much time you?ve got?

Life is too short, now you?re fifty

If time allows, you?ll be sixty

We only live once in this world of no return


Life is too short, now you?re thirty

Time flies and you'll be forty

Do you know how much time you?ve got?

Life is too short, now you?re fifty

If time allows, you?ll be sixty

We only live once in this world of no return


We only live once in this world of no return
