Verse

There's a cross on the side of the road

Where a mother lost a son

How could she know that the morning he left

Would be their last time she'd trade with him for a little more time

So she could say she loved him one last time

And hold him tight

But with life we never know

When we're coming up to the end of the road

 So what do we do then

 With tragedy around the bend?

Chorus

We live we love

We forgive and never give up

Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

Today we remember to live and to love

We live we love

We forgive and never give up

Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

Today we remember to live and to love

Verse

There is a man who waits for the tests

To see if the cancer has spread yet

And now he asks, "So why did I wait to live till it was time to die?"

If I could have the time back how I'd live

Life is such a gift

So how does the story end?

Well this is your story and it all depends

 So don't let it become true

 Get out and do what we are meant to do

Chorus

We live we love

We forgive and never give up

Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

Today we remember to live and to love

We live we love

We forgive and never give up

Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

Today we remember to live and to love

Bridge

Waking up to another dark morning

People are mourning

The weather in life outside is storming

But what would it take for the clouds to break

For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway

So get our heads up out of the darkness

And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet

And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders

And wake up and live the life we're supposed to take up

Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living

Chorus
