If Today Was Your Last Day

I had a little extra time over the weekend to listen to some music for a change so there may be a couple of posts coming up about music and lyrics which of course includes this post. One of the songs I really listened to was a great new song by Nickelback called "If Today Was Your Last Day". I love songs with a message, songs that make you think about what you are doing and where you are going. Anyway, here are the lyrics. If you get a chance I highly suggest listening to it on i-tunes or where ever you listen to music.

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day is 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 you last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

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 because there's no second try

So live like you'll never live it twice

Don't take the free ride in your own life

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 have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce of memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one your dreaming of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day

If today was your last day

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 nothing 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?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce of memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreaming of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day
