died

 

After this song was finished, Scamp immediately selected another Nickelback song: If Today Was Your Last Day:

 

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day's a gift and not a given right

Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

And try to take the path less traveled by

That first step you take is the longest stride

 

If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

If today was your last day

 

Against the grain should be a way of life

What's worth the prize is always worth the fight

Every second counts 'cause there's no second try

So live like you'll never live it twice

Don't take the free ride in your own life

 

If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce old memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day

 

If today was your last day

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars

Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes

'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life

Let nothin' stand in your way

Cause the hands of time are never on your side

 

If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

 

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce old memories

Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day

 

“Powerful lyrics, I must say.” Angel responded as the song finished; while also looking at the lyrics to both songs that Scamp had put up on the iPad. “There is certainly a definite message there about respect and sharing for peace of mind and living wisely. Again many can learn about the importance and goodness of life just by listening to these songs.”

 

“Yeah.” Tramp responded. “And I just hope that our teammates and us will learn all of these things as we head into the season so that we can become a competitive team.”

 

“Only time will tell, dad.” Scamp replied as he looked out the window into the night sky and dreamt about his and his friends’ supposed destiny that was not far away. “Only time will tell…”
