Live life like you have no afterlife,
For there's no promised paradise
No promised heaven or hell to come,
So make this life your only home.
Don't wait to do the things you love,
Don't hold back, just rise above
The fears that hold you in their grip,
And dream big dreams, and take that trip.
Life is short, and time is fleeting,
So seize the day, and make each one worth repeating
Chase your passions, live with zest,
And let your heartbeat in your chest.
When this life is over and done,
There'll be no second chances won,
No miracles, no second try,
So live your life, and don't be shy.
Live with love, and live with passion,
Live with kindness and compassion,
And when the end does finally come,
You'll know you've lived, and not just some.
So live life like you have no afterlife,
And make each day your greatest strife,
For this is our one life to live,
And we can make it a life worth living.
