Before the Sun Goes Down
by The Hoppers

Did I live with love and grace,
And dry the tears from some small face?
Did I drink the sunlight in,
And look at losing as a win?
Did I take the highest road?
Did I repay the debt I owed?
Search me, search me, now I pray
And wash my every sin away!
Before the purple sunset skies,
Before the carpe diem dies;
Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray,
Dear Lord my soul to keep.
Before I reach the end of day
I've got to know I've walked your way�
Before the darkness shades the ground, before the sun goes down.
Did I keep my word today,
and mean the things you heard me say?
Did I make sincere amends to those I wronged, my kin and friends.
Did I seek to be more real
And verbalize the things I feel?
Did I think on what is good
and help my brother when I could?
Before the purple sunset skies,
Before the carpe diem dies;
Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray,
Dear Lord my soul to keep.
Before I reach the end of day
I've got to know I've walked your way�
Before the darkness shades the ground, before the sun goes down.
As I reflect I must confess
That I might not have passed the test.
And I fell short in everything,
For my poor flesh is limiting.
And I regret my whole life through
I did not spend much time with you.
But if there's time and one more breath,
One more hour of daylight left�
Before the purple sunset skies,
Before the carpe diem dies;
Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray,
Dear Lord my soul to keep!
Before I reach the end of day
I've got to know I've walked your way�
Before the darkness shades the ground,
before the sun goes down.
