Switchfoot - Live It Well Lyrics

From the album Where The Light Shines Through

Yeah
I wanna live it well
Yeah, yeah
I wanna live it well
Yeah

Take the burden from my arms
Take the anchors off my lungs
Take me broken
And make me one
Break the silence and make it a song

Life is short I wanna live it well
One life, one story to tell
Life is short I wanna live it well
And you're the one I'm living for
Awaken, oh my soul!
Every breath that you take is a miracle
Life is short I wanna live it well, yeah

I wanna sing with all my heart a lifelong song
Even if some notes come out right and some come out wrong
'Cause I can't take none of that through the door
Yeah, I'm living for more than just a funeral
I wanna burn brighter than the dawn

Life is short I wanna live it well
One life, one story to tell
Life is short; I wanna live it well
And you're the one I'm living for
Awaken all my soul!
Every breath that you take is a miracle
Life is short I wanna live it well, yeah

I got one life
And one love
I got one voice
But maybe that's enough
'Cause with one heartbeat
And two hands to give
I got one shot
One life to live
One life to live, yeah
And every breath you take is a miracle

Life is short I wanna live it well
One life, one story to tell (one love)
Life is short I wanna live it well
And you're the one I'm living for (the one, yeah)
Awaken all my soul!
Every breathe that you take is a miracle
Life is short I wanna live it well
And you're the one I'm living for

(One life) One life, one love
(One love) One life, one love
(One voice) One voice, yeah
(And that's enough) And that's enough, oh
(One heartbeat, two hands to give)
I got one shot and one life to live, one life to live
