live now

i heard it from a newborn baby

loud and clear in that first breath of air

i heard it when grandpa was dying

it was faintly there

live now

live now

i guess it really is quite simple

sometimes it's easier said than done

but all the cool rain does is fall down

and all the river does is run

live now

live now

we're not promised tomorrow

like vapor

this these days here are fading away

baby

this time i'm holding you is borrowed

but every second by god's grace

i'm gonna

live now

i've learned i can't control the future

i've learned i must forgive the past somehow

cause we are here only a moment

and life's too short not to live now
