Five Minutes
Rains Lyrics

Sometimes I lie awake, And think about the day
At times, I stay awake and ponder about the day.

I watch you all walk around with, Your eyes half open
I notice you all moving around with half-opened eyes.

I smoke one more cigarrette and, start it all over
I light up another cigarette and begin afresh.

You’re all so scared to face your own lives
You are all too frightened to confront your own existence.

You let it pass you by
You allow life to slip by without taking action.

Why don’t you try and open up your eyes
Why don't you make an effort to be more perceptive?

And see the door is closing
Take note that the opportunity is vanishing rapidly.

You always wait
You frequently procrastinate and delay action.

Five Minutes for it to come
You wait for a mere five minutes for something to occur.

Five minutes and its over over
The period of five minutes passes by quickly and it's already over.

You seem to think your life’s just begun
You believe your life only started recently.

There is a man in the kitchen with a shovel
There is an individual in the kitchen with a spade.

A million dollars on the dining room table
There is a million dollars on the dinner table.

Now every day he puts a little in the oven
Every day, he places a small amount in the oven.

You can spend as much or little as you’re able
You have the option to spend as much or as little as you can afford.

See what the man is burning
Notice what the man is burning in the oven.

It’s your life
This is your life.

Why don’t you spend it the best you can
Why not strive to make the most of it?
