Treat Today Like There Was No Tomorrow

Live your life there is no time for sorrow
Is what I use to tell myself to believe
But then I realized I have little time to borrow
As God will always protect me
So I can live another day
So I can be here tomorrow
So I can live my life free
And each night I pray
To the lord above
To protect those That live so far
To whisper "I'll be okay" to those I love
Because we share the same sky
The same star
Let them know I have a long time before I die

Don't get lazy with yourself
For one day when God wants us
We will eventually have to die
And the angels will lead the way with no fuss
The ones left behind can do nothing but cry
So this I do say
Treat today like there was no tomorrow
Because you never know
When your time may come your way
And that bright warming light
It will show 
Gods angels in sight 

First thing to go is your sight
Then you frightly gasp for air
As forever will be night
And even though you past
People will always reunite and care
Because the feeling is still there 
It will always last 

So when you are here on earth alive
Your goals 
Go for it don't let it pass you by
Because you could be the next to drop
And your unfinished business
It won't get done....right there it'll stop
The things you wished you've done
Your chance for that you'll miss
Because now God with your soul he has won
So before you're a distant memory
In a persons mind
And your name is put on a stone
Treat your life so kind

Be gentle be kind
Love those you secretly love
Before they are left alone
Because you're on your way to God above
Treat today 
With respect
And thank God your alive another day
Because you may no longer be here tomorrow
You just realized that time you had
You no longer can borrow
It's really not that bad
Remember live your life like it's your last
Because before you know it 
You'll end up one day in the past
And a candle will be above your grave lit
