I woke up this morning, already out of time
racing down the road that is my life
here today and gone today, tomorrow who knows
maybe I should learn to take it slow

'CAUSE THERE'S A SUN THAT IS SHINING
THERE'S A STAR TO WISH UPON
THERE'S A HAND THAT NEEDS HOLDING
THERE'S A HEART THAT CALLS YOU HOME
THERE'S A SON AND A DAUGHTER, WHO NEED YOU HERE TONIGHT
SO TAKE A BREATH, DON'T MISS THIS LIFE

so many plates are spinning, I think I'll try to set them down
and maybe find a way to be around
so I need a little mercy, a touch of your grace
give me one more chance to set this straight

'CAUSE THERE'S A SUN THAT IS SHINING
THERE'S A STAR TO WISH UPON
THERE'S A HAND THAT NEEDS HOLDING
THERE'S A HEART THAT CALLS YOU HOME
THERE'S A LOVE THAT REALLY NEEDS YOU, TO HOLD ON TIGHT TONIGHT
SO TAKE A BREATH, DON'T MISS THIS LIFE

time keeps ticking, it won't slow down
so hold these moments and make them count, I think that’s what this life’s about
I woke up this morning with you and the sunrise
forgiveness in your smile
the highs and lows and battered roads, the toil and the tears
through it all we're still here

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE SUN THAT IS SHINING
AND YOU'RE THE STAR I WISH UPON
AND IT'S YOUR HAND THAT I'M HOLDING
IT'S YOUR HEART THAT CALLS ME HOME
AND IT'S YOUR LOVE THAT NEVER LEAVES ME, IT'S HOLDING ME TONIGHT
I’LL TAKE A BREATH, I WON'T MISS THIS LIFE
SO JUST TAKE A BREATH, DON'T MISS THIS LIFE
