Until he started praying for a second chance
If he could only do it all again
And trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed
He tells his wife I wish that this moment in this room
Was not me dying
But just spending a little time with you
You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this
One chance to find out the one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done I hope you see that it was enough
This one ride, one try, one life to love
She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
That held on tight the day she left till she was scared to death
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
The sun has set on her big plans to feel young again
She picks up the phone, dials a number, hears that little voice
That's haunted every single mile since she made that choice
You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this
One chance to find out the one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and done I hope you see that it was enough
This one ride, one try, one life to love
Every time I hear the song One Life to Love I think about the movie “Pay It Forward,” and how we often fail to recognize that even the smallest act of kindness or mercy can spread around the world. Every day is a special gift, and we will only ever have one of each.
If I spent half as much time in prayer as I do complaining, I know my life would be filled with blessings a hundred times over what I have now. Instead of spending hours every week playing Castleville on Zynga, I could praying for my future family, or working on using the gifts God has blessed me with to create and write. If I spent as much time exercising as I do complaining about not feeling well or staring off into nowhere I’d be much healthier and more able to enjoy this one life I have.
We all only have one life….to live, to love, to learn and grow; to leave a legacy. What will be yours?
