Live Like You Were Dying - One Voice Children's Choir
Composed by:Tim Nichols Craig Wiseman
He said
I was in my early forties
With a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
And talkin' 'bout the options
And talkin' 'bout sweet time
I asked him
When it sank in
That this might really be the real end
How's it hit you
When you get that kind of news
Man what'd you do
And he said
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 27 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said
Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
He said
I was finally the husband
Most of the time I wasn't
And I became a friend a
Friend would like to have to have
And all of a sudden going fishin'
Wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I I finally read the good book and I
Took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 27 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said
Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you've got eternity
To think about
What you'd do with it
What could you do with it
What could you do with it
What did I do with it
What would I do with it
What would I do with it
What would I do with it
Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 27 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
Manchu
Man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said
Someday I hope you get the chance
Someday I hope you get the chance
Oh someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
