We Don’t Get One Day Back

[Intro] One breath, one chance, one name on the page We don’t own tomorrow, we borrow today [Verse 1] Morning on the windowsill, coffee going cold Another little miracle I almost didn’t hold Calendar keeps turning, never asks permission Every minute leaves the room, every choice becomes a mission I used to chase the finish like the finish was the prize Now I see the road is sacred when I look somebody’s eyes If you’re waiting for the perfect day, it may not ever call So put your hand inside the work and make the moment tall [Pre-Chorus] Don’t save your heart for later Don’t hide the light you carry The world is short on elevators Be somebody’s way up, not somebody’s worry [Chorus] We don’t get one day back, so make this one count Love loud, stand proud, pull the next one out One life, one road, no promise of the next Leave a little more hope than the world had when you stepped We don’t get one day back, let gratitude speak Build somebody up when your own knees feel weak If the clock keeps moving, let it find us alive Giving more than we take before we say goodbye [Verse 2] Call your mother, tell your brother that you mean it while you can Trade a little pride for an open helping hand Somebody’s fighting private wars behind a practiced grin You could be the reason they believe in trying again No trophy made of paper can outlast a kindness given No headline shines as long as changing how someone’s living We are brief as summer thunder, here and gone across the plain But the good we plant in people can keep blooming through the rain [Pre-Chorus] Don’t save your heart for later Don’t hide the light you carry The world is short on elevators Be somebody’s way up, not somebody’s worry [Chorus] We don’t get one day back, so make this one count Love loud, stand proud, pull the next one out One life, one road, no promise of the next Leave a little more hope than the world had when you stepped We don’t get one day back, let gratitude speak Build somebody up when your own knees feel weak If the clock keeps moving, let it find us alive Giving more than we take before we say goodbye [Bridge] When the room gets dark, be the chair someone can lean on When the road gets steep, be the voice that says, keep going You don’t need a crown to make a difference in a life A little mercy in the right place can turn a wrong day right [Final Chorus] We don’t get one day back, so make this one count Love loud, stand proud, pull the next one out One life, one road, no promise of the next Leave a little more hope than the world had when you stepped We don’t get one day back, let gratitude speak Build somebody up when your own knees feel weak If the clock keeps moving, let it find us alive Giving more than we take before we say goodbye [Outro] One breath, one chance, one name on the page Make the most of the little time we were given today
