Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Time flies and life passes
Already I seem to hear
The last trumpet singing
Oh, come out of the grave
You've scattered ashes and bones
Oh, rise again, you souls

[Chorus]
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes

[Verse 2]
Oh, rise and tell us truly
If we should have served
This world or the king in heaven
To open our eyes to the truth
That life is but a breath of wind
That passes in a moment

[Chorus]
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes

[Verse 3]
This mortal life
Has wings to fly so fast
And passes at such speed
The wind is thunderbolts
The day is swiftly kidnapped
And likewise the night
Winter and summer fade
A mission to eternity
Time which will not endure
Devours us and measures our span
All life is given from heaven
And then is whisked away

[Chorus]
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes
Today we are born and tomorrow we die
Time flies, life passes
Today we appear and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies, life passes
