Today seems like a fine day to just mention one of my favorite songs by Cruxshadows, the group that, as you may recall, I fell in love with last year. I love their epic fantasy songs, but I love this one too, which they sing with great passion:
Roll out of bed, look in the mirror, and wonder who you are.
Another year has come and gone.
Today is your birthday, but it might be the last day of your life.
What will you do if tomorrow it’s all gone?
You won’t be young forever,
It’s only a fraction to the sum.
You won’t be young forever,
Nor will anyone.
So look at your life: who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, and what do you want to do?
So look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, you haven’t got forever.
And tell me what really matters, is it the money and the fame?
Or how many people might eventually know your name?
But maybe you touch one life, and the world becomes a better place to be.
Maybe you give their dreams another day, another chance to be free.
You won’t be young forever,
It’s only a fraction to the sum.
You won’t be young forever,
Nor will anyone.
So look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, and what do you want to do.
So look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, it all comes back to you.
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!
You won’t be young forever,
It’s only a fraction to the sum.
You won’t be young forever,
Nor will anyone.
So look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, and what do you want to do.
So look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, it all comes back to you.
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, what do you want to do?
Look at your life, who do you want to be before you die?
Look at your life, you haven’t got forever.
