I live in an age of 'the faster the better'. I was listening to the song 'Live Like We're Dying' by Kris Allen and it suddenly hit me.... What would I do if I knew I was going to die soon? Maybe ride into the sunset? No. Maybe ride on the beach? No. What about doing something I've always wanted to do (Ride all day across the moors and etc in Ireland or Scotland. My ancestral homes)? No. I'd want to tell my family I love them and thank you. Thank you for being there and thank you for showing me the correct path. I would also apply myself to whatever I loved most and do my dang hardest. I would try to make a difference in someone's life. I would do something that would show that Yahweh* did the right thing by putting me on this earth! I would put aside my differences. I would try to help every one else's problems. I would try to make everyone feel welcome. I would do anonymous things for organizations. I would do whatever I could for OTHERS! Key word 'others'. And you wanna know something? I should do that EVERY bloody day. And I sure don't. Why? It's too hard... I want to do what I want to do. Not school. But I don't want to do school. But I don't want to clean my room. But she's annoying. She's too different from me. I'm too shy. I'm not strong enough. I could never change ANYTHING! BS! Excuse my language but those excuses are called 'Special Exceptions'. Aka Excuses. And you want to know something? Excuses are bs! Again, excuse my language but I'm talking to myself and the side of me that wants to change is getting pretty ticked at the side of me called pride and selfishness. I have a whole lot of pride. That is probably my biggest downfall. I can't admit I'm wrong without fighting with my self and even then I can't. It's SOOO hard for me to be humble and not retaliate. Like Sunday. But I'll get into that later. I have my heart so well guarded that NO ONE could get in. Except for maybe Yahweh. He's close to breaking in. I've got it barricaded and he's broken in before and then been repelled back a couple of times. I need to just let him get in. To stay. I think that it's gonna happen. Soon. Tonight.
So, what would you do if you were dying?
There's a commercial then the song :). Oh, and pause my playlist at the bottom of the page :).
Live Like We're Dying Lyrics
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's to late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you,
What would you wish you would've done
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution,
There'll be no one on the line, yeah
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying...
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying...
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash till it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying...
We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying..
