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
