If Today Was Your Last Day

Music has always talked to me. My mood has literally been lightened just by listening to a song. I've also been changing my quote weekly because for me it's therapeutic. Well, this time the thing I picked to quote was a little longer than normal and also a song I was listening to on my way home from work today. I know we hear the songs on the radio, but how often do we take the time to read the words? Are there really that many songs that have words worth learning? I LOVE this song. It is something I want and hope to live my whole life by. Many of you will know it, but just take a minute to read the words....maybe it will make your day too!

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past, donate every dime you had?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories, would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
