If you had a week to live
What would you do
What would you give
Would you find time
Somehow to be
More loving, more kind,
What would you see
Yes what would you see
Your mission be
If only one more week of life you’d see
Would you try to make up
Time from past
With those who you have fought with last
Or would you oh so try to heal
The deep hurts certainly you feel
What oh what would you do
If only one week were given you
Friend you can yes this way think
Treat every day and try to think
That it may be your last day here
Don’t sit and mope and fill with tears
No do something to fix the past
Leave something here oh that will last
Don’t sit and think oh my oh dear
I’ve just one week to make it clear
Yes clear that love you truly have
And you don’t want any feelings bad
To leave here as your legacy
No treat each day that’s given thee
Yes as a day to let those know
You love them and you want them to know
That past is past and you see clear
Their love you want and make it clear
