If Today Was Your Last Day

(Album: Dark Horse - 2008)

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 it 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 had?

And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
And 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

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 had?
(Would you? Would you?)

And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
And 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
