Get our heads up out of this darkness And spark this new mindset and start on with life cuz it ain't gone yet And tragedy's a reminder to take off the blinders and wake up We're supposed to take up With all our heads up cuz life is worth living
There's 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 she'd trade with him for a little more time (so she could say she loved him one last 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 And today we remember to live and to love *repeat chorus
There's a man who waits for the tests to See if the cancer had 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 out and do what we were meant to do
*repeat chorus
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 And get our heads up out of this darkness And spark this new mindset and start on with life cuz it ain't gone yet And tragedy's a reminder to take off the blinders and wake up (to live the life) We're supposed to take up (moving forward) With all our heads up cuz life is worth living
