A. Match each beginning with its ending:
My best friend gave me and not a given right
He said each day's a gift, less travelled by
Leave no stone unturned, the best advice
And try to take the path leave your fears behind
That first step you take is the longest stride

B. CHORUS. Choose the right option:

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late / far away
Could you say hello / goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your first/ last
Leave old pictures in the past/trunk?
Donate / Spend every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

C. Match each beginning with its ending:

Against the grain living twice

What's worth the price ‘cause there’s no second try
Every second counts in your own life
So live like you're never is always worth the fight
Don't take the free ride should be a way of life

CHORUS
D. Choose the right option.

And would you call / meet those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories / dreams?
Would you fight / forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of / looking for?
Talk / Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by having / mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to go / shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are / love
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a second / moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way / path
'Cause the hands of time are never / rarely on your side

CHORUS
