If I Had But One Life
If I had but one life to live,
Would I do my best to have no regrets
Or should I wait till my last bets?
If I had but one life to give,
Would I die for others
Or should I wait till I am found by letters?
If I had but one life to love,
Would I smile at the rising sun
Or should I wait till the day is done?
If I had but one life to think of,
Would I treasure the each ongoing day
Or should I wait till it has decay?
If I had but one life to breathe,
Would I thank that I am alive
Or should I wait till I am about die?
If I had but one life to believe,
Would I trust myself to make my choices
Or should I wait till I hear other voices?
If I had but one life to dream,
Would I imagine all my possibilities
Or should I wait till I lost all my abilities?
If I had but one life to scream,
Would I bring out my thoughts from the inside
Or should I wait till it is too late from the outside?
If I had but one life, just one life,
Would I, should I, could I,
Before it’s too late in the afterlife,
To just be who I am and try?
