A Thousand Tomorrows


If I knew I had
Just one year left to live
How would I spend those days.
Would I hate…
Or would I love with all I've got?

Would I live like I was dying,
Or waste my last days crying?
What would I do,
If I knew
My last day would come soon.

If I only had
One year left to live,
I would…
Live like I was dying
Correct all my wrongs,
And love with all I've got.
Because one year to someone
Who knows that they’re dying
Is like a thousand tomorrows…
So they keep on fighting.
