Meaning

'This is a song of encouragement. It's about treating yourself right and forgiving yourself, and if you know you've been forgiven, you can forgive others. There's this conviction inside all of us to live as best we can and to live as full as we can. That's really it: the brevity of life and trying to find the fullness in it.' - Peter Furler (Newsboys)

Lyrics

Lyrics Verse 1: This is not the warm-up round This is not a trial heat It can’t be repeated when your time is gone This is not an infinite resource Or the prelude to a starter course You don’t send it back if it gets done wrong Chorus: This is your life Treat yourself right Treat others right Live like you know you should This is life Fight the good fight Fight for what’s right Do what you know you should Verse 2: Every living soul completes A finite number of heartbeats This is not the sum of what you’re here for Every breath you take will be exhaled Every rising sun will fall The measure of it all is what you live for Chorus: This is your life Treat yourself right Treat others right Live like you know you should This is life Fight the good fight Fight for what’s right Do what you know you should Bridge: You had a dream, but it got lost in a life of regret The devil knows you get just one shot You had a dream, are you still dreaming? Or did you forget that heaven’s calling for your best shot Chorus: This is your life Treat yourself right Treat others right Live like you know you should This is life Treat yourself right Treat others right Live like you know you should This is life Fight the good fight Fight for what’s right Do what you know you should This is life Treat yourself right Treat others right Live like you know you should This is life Fight the good fight Fight for what’s right Do what you know you should
