One Last Day To Live

One Last Day To Live

if you had one last day to live
and your soul was free from doubt
would you tell them how you feel
would you rise before the sun
would you write a letter home
would you try to make amends

does the light look different now
does it break without a sound
does it make you laugh out loud
like when you were a child

if you had one last day to live
and your soul was free from fear
would you kill that monster now, dead
would you race the summer wind
write a song that does not rhyme
get stoned and sail the sea

would you pray to god or not
get real drunk and cuss alot
**** about what you ain't got
or get you something new
would you kiss the one you love
down below and up above
could you bear the burden of
nothing left to prove

if you had one last day to live
and your soul was free from shame
would you let your real light shine

does the light look different now
does it break without a sound
does it make you laugh out loud
like when you were a child
as you go kicking through the dew
think of all that you've been through
hey don't you realize it too
we've been wasting so much time
