This is from a new CD I got. This is one of my favorite songs. The words speak so much to how life should be lived.

How You Live (turn Up The Music) 
by Point Of Grace
Wake up to the sunlight 
with your windows open 
Don't hold in the rainbow 
or leave things unspoken 
Wear your red dress
use your good dishes 
Make a big mess 
and make lots of wishes 
Have what you want 
but want what you have 
And don't spend your life looking back 
Turn up the music
turn it up loud 
Take a few chances
 let it all out 
You won't regret it
lookin' back from where you have been 
Cuz it's not who you knew 
and it's not what you did 
It's how you live 
So go to the ballgame 
and go to the ballet 
And go see your folks more than 
just on the holidays 
Kiss all your children, 
dance with your wife 
Tell your husband 
you love him every night 
Don't run from the truth 
'cause you can't get away 
Just face it and you'll be okay 
Turn up the music 
turn it up loud 
Take a few chances 
let it all out 
You won't regret it, 
lookin' back from where you have been 
'Cause it's not who you knew 
and it's not what you did 
It's how you live 
Oh wherever you are 
and wherever you've been 
Now is the time to begin 
So give to the needy 
and pray for the grieving 
Even when you don't think that you can 
'Cause all that you do is bound 
to come back to you 
So think of your fellow man 
Make peace with God 
and make peace with yourself 
'Cause in the end there's nobody else 
Turn up the music 
turn it up loud 
Take a few chances
let it all out 
'Cause you won't regret it 
Lookin' back from where you have been 
'Cause it's not who you knew 
and it's not what you did 
It's how you live 
'Cause it's not who you knew 
and it's not what you did 
It's how you live

I like those words -- they really say a lot.
