Looking back at it all
I regret many things I've done
But there's no rewind button, no re-do
This deal is take one or take none.
Get busy living or get busy dying
is a mantra oftentimes said.
But, really, what is living
if there aren't any close calls with death?
What's the point of climbing to the top
if there's no risk that you might fall?
And what is really dying
if you haven't lived at all?
