How You Live

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
