Lyrics

Six Months To Live

If I only had six months to live,
I?d devote every second I could to this mission:
A musical masterpiece larger than life,
with my blood and my passion, my truth and my pain and my strife.

If I only had six weeks to live,
would the value of money begin to shift?
All my life I have given eight hours a day
for a wage which enslaved me.
Is this the value of my final days?
And if not, why before did I let myself live as a slave?

If I only had six days to live,
I?d spend them with the people who?ve made my life rich.
No more harboring unspoken anger or guilt.
Just a deep and profound sense of loving and gratitude.

If I only had six hours to live,
I?d ponder the eulogy I would receive.
Did I earn the respect I tried to achieve?
Did I leave the world better?
What will my legacy be?

If I only had six minutes left,
would I look back with pride or with quiet regret?
When the world tore my heart out, did I persevere?
Did I lead by example?
Did I live without fear?
Got to live without fear.

If I only had six seconds left,
I?d look to the sky and I?d watch the sun set.
And I?d wonder if maybe I could be mistaken
to think that there?s no God.
