[Verse 1:] 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 Hmmmmm And don't spend your life lookin back
[Chorus:] Turn up the music Turn it up loud Take a few chances And let it all out Cause you won't regret it Lookin back from where you have been Cause it's not who you knew And it's not what you did It's how you lived
[Verse 2:] So go to the ball game 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 Oh No... Just face it and you'll be okay
[Chorus]
[Bridge:] Ohhhhh Wherever you are and wherever you been Now is the time to begin
[Verse 3:] To give to the needy And 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 men Make peace with God but make peace with yourself Cause in the end there's nobody else
[Chorus]
Cause it's not who you knew and it's not what You did It's how you lived
