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
