One Life - Danny Gokey

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, is 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

And everyone he’d ever known

In a moment was all gone

Cause tomorrow isn’t promised

All we have is one life, is 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

Sometimes we can’t control

When or where or how life goes

We live our life for love

We can dream and pray and hope

She dropped him off at school

As she kissed her son goodbye

Was no way she would know

It would be for the very last time

Later came the news, the violent tragedy

The whole town prays how could this be?

How could this be?

Cause tomorrow isn’t promised

All we have is one life, is 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 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 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
