Song lyrics
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 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

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 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 of 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

The whole lyrics is perfect except for one place. 'Reminisce of memories' The song actually says 'Reminisce old memories.'

I love this song!
For anyone who says that the lyrics are cliche - flash news for you:
LIFE IS VERY CLICHE!
But this song just makes me happy that I'm alive.

Excellent Song, Excellent Group, Fantastic voices!
You sometimes hear about a song "changing a life". Well, in the past I often scoffed at people who said this, but Now.. I cannot believe how true that is with this song. I started listening to this song the same day I found out I have type 2 Diabetes. Changes in my life and lifestyle were necessary if I am to keep this from being life threatening, so I am here to say that a great song CAN have an impact on a person. After watching the video I somehow found it within myself to 'get right' with myself. So far, so good.

Meh... a bunch of cliches strung together by a very simplistic guitar tune and a heavily machine assisted vocal... not wowing me by any stretch.
