Ask yourself
if today was your last day
tomorrow you'd be dead
would you walk besides death
without doubt in your head
or would you feel like
your life was wasted?

if today we live on regrets
tomorrow promises fulfilment
i've come to learn that, the hard way;
satisfaction today
means no vision for something else, some day.
living without vision, makes no sense
it's useless
it's like having a radio receiving no signals
or owning a music studio
with no microphone!

most a times
it's not the bad things we said
that hurt those we leave behind us
but the little things we left unsaid;
so, today i say whatever i need to say
let my family know i love them;
all those in my heart
know, you'll forever be my friends
my love for you, is not a pretence;
and let my enemies know
i'm sorry for all the harm i caused to them
i'd like to ask for forgiveness;
today, i celebrate on all my victories
i correct my mistakes before it's too late,
for tomorrow is never certain
i don't know if i'll be there.

with every single day that passes
i take another step closer, to my grave;
with every breath i inhale
the louder i hear death, call out my name;
the more i live, the more my life shortens
but i'm not scared, i'm always prepared
after-all, everybody meets death some day
