One Precious Life (2:31) – thoughtful mid-tempo song with folk-fingerstyle guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and sincere vocals. How will we spend our lives knowing we have limited time but unlimited ways to make a difference?
Lyrics
One Precious Life
Words & Music by Joy Zimmerman
What will we do with this precious life we’re given?
Trying to build what’s bold and true
How to be a bridge within a great divide?
In this night we wander through
Have we tended wounds of others on the road
Even when our hearts were broken?
Can we fight despair, can we find the light
While weary and terrified?
We will find a way until the way appears
To bring hope, we must not live small
What is whispering within our treasured soul
As we keep our own company?
When we sing the songs, ones we’ve always known
Let us listen hard to history
We will find a way until the way appears
To bring peace, we will transform walls
We will find a way until the way appears
To seek justice, we must heed the call
What will we do with this precious life we’re given?
This one precious life
