Take your chances and cherish every opportunity life can bring,
Do things you wouldn’t normally do: jump, dance or sing.
Have fun with your friends and hold family memories close to your heart,
Because when everything’s gone, those memories can make smiles start.
Love the ones that are close to you and don’t hold anything back,
Do things that you have put off, try not to be slack.
The moments you love come and go too quickly so hold onto them tight,
Because they may not come around again and you’ll see this message is right.
