One life No rehearsal This is your day [Verse 1] Don’t save your fire for a safer time The clock won’t wait till all the stars align Take the road that makes your heartbeat race Some dreams only wake when you give them chase Let them talk, let them stare, let them call you strange People judge what they’re too afraid to change You don’t need their blessing, you don’t need their praise You were never born to live inside their gaze [Pre-Chorus] Breathe it in, the joy, the ache Be strong enough to bend, be brave enough to change The future isn’t waiting in some far-off place It’s here, it’s now, it’s looking in your face [Chorus] Carpe diem, live your day Take the leap before the light slips away Feel the rain, taste the sun Love with all your heart before the day is done Laugh out loud, be brave, be free Be the one you came here to be One wild life, don’t give it away Carpe diem, live your day [Verse 2] Don’t miss the little things while chasing something grand The morning light, a cup of warmth, a loved one’s waiting hand The sound of someone laughing, an old song that you play Life is in the moments that we almost throw away Love without conditions, say the words while there is time Hold the ones who matter, leave your bitterness behind Strength is not pretending that your heart will never break It’s choosing to get up again, whatever that may take [Pre-Chorus] Let them judge the way you laugh, the way you love, the way you shine Their opinions never get to spend a minute of your time No one else can live your truth or see through your own eyes So lift your head and rise [Chorus] Carpe diem, live your day Take the leap before the light slips away Feel the rain, taste the sun Love with all your heart before the day is done Laugh out loud, be brave, be free Be the one you came here to be One wild life, don’t give it away Carpe diem, live your day [Half-Spoken Breakdown] Don’t ask for permission Ask forgiveness later Take the risk Book the ticket Speak your truth Say, “I love you” Dance like nobody gets a vote And if you fall Fall forward [Bridge, building] If you fall, rise up If you fear, walk on If they doubt, shine more If the night comes, be the dawn There will never be another now There will never be another you So love without a limit And live like every breath is new [Final Chorus, key change, gospel choir] Carpe diem, live your day Take the leap, don’t let the moment slip away Feel the rain, taste the sun Love without condition till the day is done Laugh out loud, be brave, be free Be the one you were always meant to be One wild life, let the whole world say You were here and you lived your day Carpe diem, live your day Carpe diem, live your day [Outro, stripped back] Not someday Not when Right here Right now Carpe diem Live your day
