Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
[Verse 1]
Every day is a gift from God
Even ones that have left their scars
So don't waste another moment
But you don't know what you got until it's gone, yeah
I'm not gonna let one pass me by, no
I know I'm living on borrowed time
We're not guaranteed tomorrow
Just promised what we have will be enough, yeah
So everywhere I look has got me singing
[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
It doesn't mean it's always gonna feel alright
But it'll be a gift, if you hold it right
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
[Verse 2]
I've come too far just to turn back now, yeah
I've seen too much just to turn it all around
Not waiting for tomorrow
'Cause there's a miracle of Heaven here and now, yeah
So everywhere I look has got me singing
[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
It doesn't mean it's always gonna feel alright
But it'll be a gift, if you hold it right
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
[Bridge]
A time for weeping
A time laughing
A time to reap
A time to sow
A time for dancing
A time for dying
A time for living
It doesn't mean it's always gonna feel alright
But it'll be a gift, if you hold it right
[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
Yes, it is
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
It doesn't mean it's always gonna feel alright
But it'll be a gift, if you hold it right
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
Yes, it is
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
It doesn't mean it's always gonna feel alright
But it'll be a gift, if you hold it right
Oh, what a beautiful life
Oh, what a beautiful life
Yes, sir
