One Day Too Late...

I am a big music guy.  No I am not talking instrument music...all i can play is the radio.  By big music guy I merely mean that I am a BIG guy and i like MUSIC.  Every once in awhile a song sticks with you and makes you think.

The song "One Day Too Late" by Skillet is one of those songs. 


One Day Too Late lyrics Songwriters: Cooper, John; Howes, Brian


Tick tock, hear the clock countdown
Wish the minute hand could be rewound
So much to do and so much I need to say
Will tomorrow be too late?


Feel the moment slip into the past
Like sand through an hourglass
In the madness, I guess, I just forget
To do all the things I said


Time passes by, never thought I'd wind up
One step behind, now I've made my mind up


Today, I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it


Today, I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late
One day too late, one day too late


Tick tock, hear my life pass by
I can't erase and I can't rewind
Of all the things I regret the most I do
Wish I'd spent more time with you


Here's my chance for a new beginning
I saved the best for a better ending
In the end I'll make it up to you
You'll see, you'll get the very best of me


Time passes by, never thought I'd wind up
One step behind, now I've made my mind up


Today, I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it


Today, I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late


Your time is running out
You're never gonna get it back
So make the most of every moment
Stop saving the best for last

Today, I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it


Today, I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late


One day too late, one day too late
One day too late, one day too late

What are you going to do with your day?  What is important to you?  Are you going to show it with your actions today? 

Just a thought.

Peace
