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
