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

And all we really have to do is live now, live now

We're not promised tomorrow

Like vapor these days here are fading away

Maybe 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're here only a moment

And life's too short to not live now

Hey yeah, hey yeah

Hey yeah, mmm
