	"So if you please, take this moment, Try if you can to make it last, Don't think about the future, And just forget about the past, And make it last"

No Picture NICK Wanna Be	#2 by NICK COGHLAN at Sep 22, 1977 at 1:33 PM EST
	I love this song "Reach for the sky 'cus tomorrow, May never come" is basicly the same as saying "Live life to the fullest because something may happen to you" and as a kid he says that he was wreckless and didnt care, just lived it up, but realizes he may have something to lose someday but just keeps living it up anyways. and i have to say i tottaly agree.

	Life's gonna kill you one day. Hold on to every moment dearly, and don't mess up. You could end up dead, swo live like it. THat's just what I get from it.
