We Live

We Live Superchic[k]

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?
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
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
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
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
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


How awesome would it be if, when i die, someone would be able to say that this song said what i was about. I want to be someone who lives simply to live and to love. I want to be someone who is able to forgive (even though it is soooo hard sometimes), and who doesnt give up, no matter how difficult life gets. Each day i want to remember that the day i am living is a gift from God, and i want to remember to make the most of it.
I dont know what is going to happen tomorrow. For all i know, i could be in a huge car crash, or could live until i am 119 years old; i really have no idea what my future holds. Although there are times when i think it would be so good to know what is coming in the future, i know that i wouldnt be able to live life fully, because the unknown aspect would be taken away. I mean, if i knew that tomorrow an angry parent was going to come into work and threaten a child, i would be able to try to keep that child out of the area more effectively because i would have had prior warning. But God doesnt want me to live like that. He wants me to trust Him, and to know that he will be with me in everything that happens. I dont need to know the future to feel safe, because the God who controls the future is with me 24/7! All that i need to do is to trust in Him, and to live and love.

*feeling challenged and encouraged* yeah, I SO need to grow in the simplicity of just living and loving. So often I want my life to move faster and things (especially me) to be perfect....and when it invariably doesn't measure up, I get depressed and wonder what the point of my life is - because I missed it!! Gotta just love life, love people, love me (even the work-in-progress parts)!

PS could someone remind me of this when I forget?
