Be the one who chooses Not the one waiting to be chosen People’s lives don’t end when they die It ends when they lose faith When you give up, that's when the game ends Don't wait till your last breath to make amends Write your last chapter before you run out of ink Before it's due give yourself enough time to think And perfect your grammar, have no regrets Never gamble your life away, make no bets Don't hold onto promises you can't keep And say your prayers every night before you sleep Believe in miracles and The Man Up Above And never let yourself wither away in vain... Just remember his love And last but not least... Don't waste all your tears Don't drink too many beers Don't succumb to your biggest fears It could be tonight, or it could be next week But stay hopeful and strong, And never let them see you cry Remember all this before you die.

Before You Die...
Be the one who chooses Not the one waiting to be chosen People’s lives don’t end when they die It ends when they lose faith When you give up, that's when the game ends Don't wait till your last breath to make amends Write your last chapter before you run out of ink Before it's due give yourself enough time to think And perfect your grammar, have no regrets Never gamble your life away, make no bets Don't hold onto promises you can't keep And say your prayers every night before you sleep Believe in miracles and The Man Up Above And never let yourself wither away in vain... Just remember his love And last but not least... Don't waste all your tears Don't drink too many beers Don't succumb to your biggest fears It could be tonight, or it could be next week But stay hopeful and strong, And never let them see you cry Remember all this before you die.
