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      And have what you want   But want what you have   And don't spend your life looking back      Turn up the music, turn it up loud   Take a few chances, let it all out   'Cause you won't regret it      Looking back from where you have been   'Cause it's not who you knew   And it's not what you did, it's how you live      So, go to the ballgames and go to the ballet   And 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      Turn up the music, turn it up loud   Take a few chances and let it all out   'Cause you won't regret it      Looking back from where you have been   'Cause it's not who you knew   And it's not what you did, it's how you live      Oh, wherever you are and wherever you've been   Now is the time to begin      So, 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 man      And make peace with God   And make peace with yourself, oh yeah   'Cause in the end there's nobody else      Turn up the music, turn it up loud   Take a few chances and let it all out   'Cause you won't regret it      Looking back from where you have been   'Cause it's not who you knew   And it's not what you did, it's how you live      'Cause it's not who you knew   And it's not what you did, it's how you live
