The Way You Lived

Just thought I'd share the lyrics from one of my favorite songs by Point of Grace...I think this should be my 'to do' list!

Wake up to the sunshine with your windows open
Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use you good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want but want what you have
And don’t spend your life looking back

Turn up the music, turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
‘Cause you won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
‘Cause it’s not who you knew, and it’s not what you did, it’s how you lived

So go to the ball games, and go to the ballet
Go see you folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him, every night
Don’t run from the truth ‘cause you can’t get away
Oh no
Just face it and you’ll be okay

Turn up the music, turn up it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
Cause you won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
‘Cause it’s not who you knew, and it’s not what you did, it’s how you lived

Wherever you are, wherever you’ve been
Now is the time to begin

Give to the needy, and pray for the grieving even when you don’t think that you can
Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
And make peace with God, and make peace with yourself
Cause in the end, there’s nobody else

Turn up the music, turn up it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
Cause you won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
‘Cause it’s not who you knew, and it’s not what you did, it’s how you lived
