Song lyrics

Send "This Is Your Life" ringtones to your cell

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead 
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken 
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes 
This is your life and today is all you've got now 
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have 
Don't close your eyes 
Don't close your eyes 

This is your life, are you who you want to be 
This is your life, are you who you want to be 
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be 
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose 

Yesterday is a kid in the corner 
Yesterday is dead and over 

This is your life, are you who you want to be 
This is your life, are you who you want to be 
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be 
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose 

Don't close your eyes 
Don't close your eyes 
Don't close your eyes 
Don't close your eyes 
Don't close your eyes 

This is your life are you who you want to be 
This is your life are you who you want to be, yeah 

This is your life, are you who you want to be, who you want to be yeah 
This is your life, are you who you want to be (who you want to be) 
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be 
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose 

And you had everything to lose

3 posts	Yes they do. And they're one of those bands that at first you can't tell is Christian, but once you get into their music and start listening to the lyrics, you'll get it. This song really makes you stop and think "Are you who you want to be?"

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is suck a mind-blowing song for me. Everytime I hear it I have to stop & just...listen. It helps you to remember to just take a break from the world & think about where you're going, what you're going to do, & who you're going to be. I love this song!!
