A peculiar little song in that it has no repeating chorus, but rather, 4 distinct parts. It's kind of like a little Broadway play in 4 acts.


You just never know when the sands in your hourglass are going to run out - don't waste your life procrastinating - do it today! What if you knew that today was your
last day on Earth - how would you spend it?
What if you received a warning
On the day you were to die
You'd just wake up somehow knowing
And begin to wonder why
Why today, and not next Thursday
There is so much you had planned
You were gonna ask that girl out
You were gonna hold her hand

And now there'e
So many things
You'll never do
Kiss her sweet lips
Or say, "I love you"
She'll never know
You'd be so true
You never spoke, so
She never knew

What if you received a message
That tonight would be your night
Would you get your house in order?
Would you make the wrong things right?
Would you do anything different?
Or would you simply wait to die?
Would you finally track that girl down?
Would you look her in the eye
And tell her:
Life's a little better
Whenever I'm near you
I want to know you better
So, let's spend the afternoon
You can tell me your life's story
And I can tell you mine
And I won't betray the ending
But I think it turns out fine

This might be your day
In the worst possible way
Say what you need to say, cuz
This might be your day

IMPNATION MUSIC OLYMPICS
Always love what Tom brings and his talents and ideas in his musical adventures shine through, this is a sweet mellow song that shows his skills and singing abilities. Tom has a knack for bringing a unique approach to his lyrical content and this is no exception, a wonderful blend of organic real down to earth thoughts about life and looking at life in a way that might be something to think about. dig the flute and the whole composition, it works, well done Tom


TRIPPING BALLS
I was tripping balls and I thought I was dead. It felt so strange. I was very happy and filled with joy. As my life passed before my eyes I decided I was happy with how I lived my life. I was good to people. I always gave of myself. But then I started feeling sad for the people who would surely miss me. Mom and Dad, my brothers and sisters, and the rest of my family. I saw my girlfriend who I intended to marry crying, and I tried to touch her but could not. But my trip changed when The Grateful Dead came out on stage and opened the show with Bertha. I started dancing, and realized I was still alive, and I made a vow to always be cool to all the people I loved, and all the animals, too. I made a vow to never eat living beings again after that day, too, because all life is precious. Be good always. We never know when it might be our day.
