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
(all we really have to do is)
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
