Live Like We're Alive by Nevertheless

Listen to it, I'll wait.

I especially like the lines "We're here only for a second and then we're gone when we least expect it so do more than survive. Let's live like we're alive!"
Driving with a friend this weekend, I turned the radio up loud and sang along to the chorus of this song. We had been talking about the Peace Corps, and I was trying to explain that I know that things will change when I come back. I know that I'll have crazy-but-impossible-to-explain experiences that will have become a part of me. I know that joining the PC will be hard and challenge me everyday. I know some people wont understand, but I want all of that. I don't want to just be surviving this world, I want to really live in it, to see and experience and change it. Years from now I want to be able to look back and be able to say more than "I heard about that," I want to tell my grandkids "I was there, and this is what I did."
