If Today Was Your Last Day

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?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living 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 those 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'd 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?

And would you call those 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'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

The song 'If Today Was Your Last Day' is showing the world that you should not always get hung up in the past or future. You should live in the present. Many people are selfish and are always thinking of ways to make everything more convenient for themselves while there are people out there who have nothing at all yet think nothing of themselves and try to help others. This song is trying to show you that every day could be your last and no matter what you should try to help not only yourself but everyone around you. You can't rewind to the past so whatever happened, happened and can't be changed so move on with your life and start fresh if you must. It also conveys the message that it is never too late to follow your dreams. You should always believe in your own strength, and that will get you through anything. Some people are only week because they believe they are week but when they find their strength and believe in themselves they can be the strongest person on Earth. Believing and dreaming is very important but acting out your dreams and beliefs for the good of others is what really keeps the world spinning round.
