Lyrics
One Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How was she to know as she ran and slammed the door
That the angry words she spoke were the last words she would breathe
How was she to see eternity between the red light and the green
It all ended suddenly
Cause tomorrow isn’t promised
All we have is one life, one time
To live and love and make it right
Yesterday is written
All we have is right now, is right now
To celebrate this one and only life
He always loved the rain and the sound of a thunderstorm
He had to look for cover as the wave overtook the shore
He watched helplessly as everything he owned
Everyone he’d ever known in a moment was all gone
Sometimes we can’t control
Where or when or how life goes
We live our lives for love
We can dream and pray and hope
She dropped him off at school as she kissed her son goodbye
There’s no way she would know it would be for the very last time
Later came the news of violent tragedy
The whole town prays how could this be?
How could this be?
Life is too short gotta make it right
Yesterday’s gone and all we got is right now
Is right now to celebrate this one and only life
