DASH
by Crowder, TobyMac

Album: The EXILE

Verse 1: David Crowder
Sunday mornin', preacher said:
"Life's a mist; it's just a breath
We're only here for a little while" (A little while)
He talked about his daddy's grave
It read 1910 to '98
But the years between were just a little line (A little line)

Pre-Chorus: David Crowder
Got me wonderin' what I'm chasin' (Chasin')
Don't want another minute wasted (Wasted)

Chorus: David Crowder
There's a day we're born, day we pass
In between, there's just a dash
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah)
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah)
Yeah, I got time, but time goes fast
Yeah, that line's all I have
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah)
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah)

Verse 2: David Crowder
I could take this life and live it well
I could keep on livin' it for myself
What's He gonna say when He calls me up? (What's He gonna say?)
Was I just words or was I love?
Did I love great or just good enough?
I just hope He says, "Well done" (What's He gonna say?)

Pre-Chorus: David Crowder
I keep on wonderin' what I'm chasin' (Chasin')
Don't want another minute wasted (Wasted)

Chorus: David Crowder & TobyMac
There's a day we're born, day we pass
In between, there's just a dash
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah)
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah)
Yeah, I got time, but time goes fast
Yeah, that line's all I have
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah) (Ayy)
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah) (Ayy)

Bridge: TobyMac
'Cause real life's in the trenches, not from the stands
In our lofty benches with manicured hands
I want a dash that's dirty, a life fully spent
Weathered and scarred from all the life that I lived
The times that we go out of our way
To paint beautiful blue over somebody's gray
When we stopped and defended injustice
Or sanded the heart of a friend that got rusted
I don't know my number or year that I'll pass
From this cold world to the Kingdom that lasts
But carpe diem, it's worth it; to live it, not blur it
Or years could fly by and you still ain't met purpose

Chorus: David Crowder & TobyMac
There's a day we're born, day we pass (Pass)
In between, there's just a dash
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah) (What on Earth am I doin'?)
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah) (What on Earth am I doin'?)
Yeah, I got time, but time goes fast (Fast)
Yeah, that line's all I have
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah) (What on Earth am I doin'?)
What on Earth am I doin'? (Yeah) (What on Earth am I doin'?)

Outro: TobyMac
(Oh-oh-oh) Life's short, but a vapor
What you gonna do? What you gonna do with yours?
What on Earth am I doin'?
What on Earth am I doin'?
(Oh-oh-oh) What on Earth am I doin'?
What on Earth am I doin'?
