Today is a wonderful day, the most wonderful day. That does not mean that yesterday was not wonderful. But yesterday is already gone. It does not mean that tomorrow will not be wonderful.

That keep giving this life a meaning.
I'm singin' this 'cause we'd be nothin' without them,
And this is my anthem, yeah.

Chester Bennington:

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Kimi Räikkönen:

Just leave me alone, I know what I'm doing.
