I heard this song while at a concert with a very dear friend of mine and fell in love with it immediately. I know that I live my life, all too often concerned about how others portray me, or being cautious and making sure I don't make any mistakes or do anything wrong. Life isn't about that. Life is about taking risks, doing things you never thought you would, using what you have and using it to the fullest and above all loving what you have, loving where you are in life, loving yourself, and above all loving others.


How You Live
Point of Grace

Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want, but want what you have
And don’t spend your life looking back
Turn up the music, turn it up loudT
ake a few chances, let it all out
Cause you won’t regret it Looking back from where you have been
Cause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you didIt’s how you lived
So go to the ballgames and go to the ballet
Go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children, dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don’t run from the truth cause you can’t get away
Just face it you’ll be okayTurn up the music, turn it up loud
Take a few chances, let it all out
Cause you won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
Cause it’s not who you knew A
nd it’s not what you didIt’s how you lived
Ooh, wherever you are and wherever you’ve been
Now is the time to begin
So give to the needy, pray for the grieving
Even when you don’t think that you can
Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
And make peace with God and make peace with yourself
Cause in the end there’s nobody else
Turn up the music, turn it up loud
Take a few chances, let it all out
Cause you won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
Cause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you didIt’s how you lived
Cause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you lived
