"Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open, don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken. Wear your red dress, use your 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, but how you live.
So go to the ball games, go to the ballet, go see your 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. Just face it and you'll be ok.
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, but how you live.
Wherever you are and wherever you've been, now is the time to begin.
So give to the needy, 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. Make peace with God, and make peace with yourself. Cause in the end, there's nobody else."
So many people hear a song, and miss the entire meaning behind the lyrics and the purpose for which it was written. I don't have the talent for writing songs, and am by no means a professional when it comes to singing, but I do love it. Music can be thought provoking, inspiring, and healing. Next time you hear a song you like, listen to it with a new set of ears and find the message. Guaranteed, you will never look at music the same.
BTW, below is a link to the full song. Enjoy.
