I swung and missed
At fortune's sweet pitch
Now I'm just writing away
Working hard for little pay
But it gives me time to play

I'm too young to retire
And just too old to hire
But no need to fret about things
I'm feeling good and inspired
With hope that things will change

Tomorrow isn't promised
But it's a brand new day
I'm blessed to wake up safe
So there is no need to complain
Live and love for the rest of today

Things can always be worse
And I know I'm not cursed
Some people are sick and in pain
For them I'll always bow and pray
That their circumstances change

I've been blessed with this gift
To write and play riffs
In hopes it'll help you get away
Reading my words, hearing my songs
Maybe it'll help you forget the pain

Live and love for the rest of today
We're blessed to wake up safe
So there is no need to complain
Tommorow isn't promised
But it is a brand new day

The snow could be falling
Or the sun may be shining
It's so beautiful to be awake
Cloudy skies might be crying
So let's just go play in the rain

It will wash away your stress
Who cares if you get wet
Don't worry about fortunes won
The water will drown your regret
So now go out and do your best

Live and love for the rest of today
And tomorrow just do the same
We're blessed to wake up safe
Don't forget to go outside and play
Live and love every single day

Live and love like it's your last day
