If Today Was Your Last Day

"If Today Was Your Last Day" ~ Nickelback, Lyrics: Chad Kroeger.

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

Chorus:

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?

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

Chorus

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 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

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 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?

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 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

If today was your last day

"Key To The Mind"

In the song, If Today Was Your Last Day, Nickelback sings about how in present day life we forget that possessions mean nothing, and that through them we have become self centered and overbearing. This 'coruption' is the soul reason many people are no longer 'open minded', therefore loosing the ability to be the best they can be through honesty, respect and kindness towards everyone around us. Now that the world has progressed from purity to vanity, violence, misunderstanding and hatred have become a part of life, when in truth, we live in peace together, if we had the will power and bravery and leave the system of laws and so called justice. Yet as stated in The Shack (a powerful book about one mans journey towards finding his true God) because our human lives are so corrupted, that without laws, we wouldnt be able to survive unless everyone participated in the change/glorification of the world. If today was your last day, would you feel like you were the best you could have been?
