Bad Luck Can Be Good Luck Lyrics

It wasn't the news

That you wanted to hear

But the doctor's words

Were more than clear

There wasn't much

That he could do

There weren't better options

You could pursue

Bet you can't imagine

How it feels to learn your life

Will be cut short

Then you sat in your car

Hurt and confused

How could you tell your wife

And kids the news

How could you say

It could be years, it could be days

How to explain

That there is no other way

Everything you'd planned

And you'd dreamed

Was suddenly changing

The clock is ticking

And that's a gift

You may not know it

As you think of what you'll miss

But realizing things will end earlier than planned

Is truly how you learn to understand

That the best way to live

Is to live each day

Like it's your last

Now it's been a few years

Of accepting my lot

Learning what I can still do

And what I can not

But each extra moment

Is worth every minute of pain

I know that's not something

Easy to explain

But bad luck can be good luck

If you see it that way

The clock is ticking

And that's a gift

You may not know it

As you think of what you'll miss

But realizing things will end earlier than planned

Is truly how you learn to understand

That the best way to live

Is to live each day

Like it's your last

Like it's your last
