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 more 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
‘Cause 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
‘Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
Today we remember to live and to love

There is a man who waits for the tests
To see if the cancer has spread yet
And now he asks “Why did I wait to live ‘til 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 and do what we were meant to do…

CHORUS

Waking up to whatever 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
So get a heads up
The darkness has sparked this new mindset
Live life ‘cause it ain’t gone yet
And tragedy is a reminder
Wake up and live the life we’re supposed to take up
Moving forward with all our heads up
‘Cause life is worth living…

CHORUS



Behind the Song:
“We see pain, hurt and heartache everyday all around us. We can choose to let it get us down and depressed, or we could use it to teach us to embrace the moments that we have and to live bigger and love stronger. That’s what this song is about.” - Melissa Brock (Superchick)
