The Last Days

I was on my way to work this morning and this song played on my mp3 player, first person who came to mind was Julia Campbell.

If Julia have known that it was her last day, would she have spent it with her friends or her family instead of vacationing in the north? If the students in Virginia Tech knew that they'll be killed that day, would they have said sorry to their parents or kiss them goodbye?

If today were the last of all days, what would you do?


It would have been easier if we knew if its our last day but we don't have that luxury. I guess that's why there are words like," Live life to the fullest for we don't know what the future holds."


How ironic, Julia's last entry in her blog was entitled "Buhay pa Tayo"

This is for Julia.

the last days

sung by hourglass, acoustic night live 1


if today were the last of all days
would you change how you feel, who you are
would you rise for a moment above all your fears
become one with the moon and the stars

would you like what you see, looking down
would you give everything that you could
have you done everything that you wanted to do
is there still so much more than you would

follow your dream to the end of the rainbow
way beyond one pot of gold
open your eyes to the colors around you
and find the true beauty life holds

would you live for the moment like when we were young
and time didn't travel so fast
be free in the present, enjoying the now
not tied to a future or past

follow your dream to the end of the rainbow
way beyond one pot of gold
open your eyes to the colors around you
and find the true beauty life holds

you probably said all you wanted to say
but doesn't it strike you as strange
then we'd only begin to start living our lives
if today were the last of all days
if today were the last of all days
