    I am a fan of the artist for this single song! Great lyrics and I dig the music! I heard it years ago, maybe a decade ago. But it has grew on me with time. We won't be young forever!

    Roll out of bed and look in the mirror
    And wonder who you are
    Another year is come and gone
    Today is your birthday but it might be
    The last day of your life
    What will you do if tomorrow it's all gone?
    You won't be young forever
    It's only a fraction to the sum
    You won't be young forever
    Nor will anyone
    So look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    What do you want to do?
    Look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    You haven't got forever
    Then tell me what really matters
    Is it the money and the fame
    Or how many people might eventually know your name?
    But maybe you touch one life
    And the world becomes a better place to be
    Maybe you give their dreams another day
    Another chance to be free
    You won't be young forever
    It's only a fraction to the sum
    You won't be young forever
    Nor will anyone
    So look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    And what do you want to do?
    Look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    It all comes back to you
    Happy birthday, happy birthday
    Happy birthday, happy birthday
    Happy birthday, happy birthday
    Happy birthday, happy birthday
    You won't be young forever
    It's only a fraction to the sum
    You won't be young forever
    Nor will anyone
    So look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    What do you want to do?
    Look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    It all comes back to you
    Look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    What do you want to do?
    Look at your life
    Who do you want to be before you die?
    Look at your life
    You haven't got forever

    This song changed me more than I ever realized. It made me think about who I am and made me realize I wasn't who I wanted to be nor was I even who I thought I was. I heard it at a club in Philly when it came out and didn't think much at the time but now...now, with today's social climate, it's more relevant than ever. look at yourself. not just from your side of the coin but from the other. do others see you as you see yourself? put yourself in the position of the person you're interacting with. are you a jerk? are you nice? are you behaving how you want the world to be? if not, might be time for a change.

    This song has been inspiring me to do more, to be more, for years. Here's a relevant post from my blog:
    "Remember that your reach extends far beyond the people you interact with directly.
    Let's say you saved someone's life. Speaking as someone intimately familiar with suicidality, I'm sure you've saved a few, even if you didn't know it. Every kindness you visit on another has the potential to tip the balance of their life, to set them on a better path.
    Everyone that person helps, every good deed that person does for the rest of their life, is partially to your credit.
    The principle extends easily to other forms of influence: Encouraging artists to pursue their art means you're partially responsible for the existence of that art. Helping to mend a healer's broken heart also affects every person they help from then on.
    Everyone and everything is connected. Music is an especially strong force for connecting people, as it acts as a kind of shared emotional language which helps people to find things in common. Never forget that you are a vital member of a vast interdependent web of people who in some way, large or small, owe you thanks for making them better than they otherwise would have been."

    Ich habe die Band vor über 10 Jahren mal in Augsburg bei einem kleinen Livekonzert gesehen. Und die haben wirklich alles gegeben. Es gab immer wieder Zugaben, bis irgendwann die Tänzerinnen nicht mehr konnten. Und selbst dann kam Rogue nochmal raus für einen letzten Song. Für ihre Fans tun sie alles was sie können.
