lyrics

27,375
That's how many days the average person is alive
At first it may sound like a real big number
But remember all the hours spent in slumber

Then subtract the ones so young they're practically missed
And don't worry I'm going somewhere with this
My point is if you want to see the sunset
You'd better do it every chance you get

27,375
The same goes for watching that sun rise
I'll only get so many mornings noons and evenings
Gotta' spend 'em in a way that I find pleasing

Many I'm at work or on the phone
And others I presume I'll be too old
I don't mean to sound dark it's really good news that I'm giving
Just wanna' make it count every day I'm living

27,375
Times we open up our eyes
So why not keep 'em open every second that we can
Watch that sun rise and then go back down again
