Songs about health.

[edna]

Not healthy food or being in shape or a healthy mind.

No.

Just a song about the fact of being lucky not be ill.

Are there any songs saying things like "Thanks God, I walk by myself" or "I am not in a hospital" or such?

People rarely apreciate health. We take it as the normal thing, the natural way to be.

Having close friends and relatives who are really in trouble, I'd like to know if someone wrote and/or sung a song about being healthy and how lucky we are.

Thank you so much.

Live Like You Were Dying ~ Tim McGraw

I was in my early forties

With a lot of life before me

When a moment came that stopped me on a dime

I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays

Talking bout the options and talking bout sweet time

I asked him when it sank in

That this might really be the real end

How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?

Man, what'd ya do?

And he said

I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

He said, I was finally the husband

That most the time I wasn't

And I became a friend, a friend would like to have

And all of a sudden goin' fishin'

Wasn't such an imposition

And I went three times that year I lost my dad

Well I, I finally read the good book

And I took a good long hard look

At what I'd do if I could do it all again

And then

I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

Like tomorrow was a gift

And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it

What did you do with it?

What did I do with it?

What would I do with it?

Skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

And I loved deeper

And I spoke sweeter

And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'

And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin'

I'm not a real big country fan, but I do like some of it...love the lyrics to this one..

[edna]

This one is very good... Thank you again, sweet Laurie...

You're very welcome, dear Edna...

This one worked for the gopher in Caddyshack:

Not much to the verses, so most of the sentiment is in the chorus. It does have a part where he sings about listening to your own heart beating.

[edna]

I love that song, Carl!!

How about some Europop from 1979, 'Born to be Alive' by Patrick Hernandez

[Otokichi]

Treat Williams sings about what's attached to him in the movie version of "Hair";)

 

I'd never heard of "Patrick Hernandez" nor "Born To Be Alive," so here's that Disco track.

What I remember about Disco was getting my foot stepped on by a platform-shoe-wearing Disco Duck on the bus...
