remember to live and to love

there is a cross on the side of the road
where a mother lost her son
how could she know that the morning he left
would be the last time
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

there is a man who waits for the tests
to see if the cancer had spread yet
now he asks himself
why did i wait to live until 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

we live, we love, we forgive and never give up
because the days we are given are gifts from Above
and today we remember to live and to love

get our head up out of this darkness
and spark this new mindset
start on with life because it ain't gone yet
because life is worth living

we live, we love, we forgive and never give up
because the days we are given are gifts from Above
and today we remember to live and to love
