Story Behind The Song

my father-in-law was on the verge of death when this song was written, as i was thinking of how short life is, and how trivial everyday worries can be compared to the true essence of life.

Song Description

take a look around you, and enjoy life as it is. you never know when you may leave this world. this could be your last day here, so enjoy life for the moment, and try and see things with the eyes of a child - open to the wonders that surround us every day.

Lyrics

Don't put your life into a safe
and lock it up inside
Angeline, she said "live your dreams,
it's easy if you try"

It's so nice outside, there's pleasure here
my other side, my second gear
i look around with a child's eye
Angeline, well she may be right.

so give me time to live my life
celebrate, laugh and cheer
Aneline, she said live your dreams
'cause this could be your last day here

so thankful that you brought me life
that you'll take me to the other side
where freedom sings and clover blooms
i believe that i'm in love with you

it's late at night and you're standing near
i look in your eyes, i say "come over here"
i hold you tight 'cause i realize
this could be our last goodbye

so give us time to live our lives
celebrate, laugh and cheer
Angeline, she said live your dreams
this could be your last day here

it's tangible, it's feasible
with an open mind, second gear
ride along the riverside, enjoy the ride
never fear

give me time to live my life
celebrate, laugh and cheer
Angline, she said live your dreams,
'cause this could be your last day here
