Harry Chapin
Harry Chapin was an amazing folk singer and humanitarian who died at age 39. One of his earliest and greatest songs is called Taxi and there’s a lyric that is extremely important to me:
Oh, I’ve got something inside me But it’s not what my life’s about, Cause I’ve been letting my outside tide me Over ’till my time runs out
Is there something inside you, an emotion, an idea, a dream, that you cannot release?
Is it what your life should really be about?
Do it! For yourself and for the people you care for.
Don’t let your outside tide you over ‘till your time runs out.
