Petra's song 'Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda' reflects on the regrets of past choices and the urgency of living in the present. The lyrics acknowledge that life is full of missed opportunities and mistakes, but they also emphasize that it's not too late to change course. The chorus contrasts the futility of dwelling on what might have been with the call to act now. The song encourages listeners to make right choices today, guided by God's voice, and to embrace the future with faith rather than being trapped by the past. It's a motivational Christian rock anthem about redemption and seizing the moment.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Life is filled with many chances
Some you took, and you some you blew
Your path in life can turn ever so quickly
On everything you say
And change with everything you do
I know that was then
There's nothing I can do about what might have been
[Chorus]
Would'a, should'a, could'a done this and that
Don't wanna live life with another regret
Would'a, should'a, could'a made another choice
I can see more the older I get
Would'a, should'a, could'a said something more
But it's too late - there's a knock at the door
Would'a, should'a, could'a won't change a thing
The here and now is waiting
Would'a, should'a, could'a right now
We dig our pit, we make our bed
That's where we fall and where we lay
But we still have a shot to make things better
'Cause it ain't over yet
And we can get it right today
We can make the right choice
You know it's easy when you hear God's voice
[Chorus]
I want to live my life not only thinking of the past
The future tells me that my life has not been cast
I want to say "I will, I did" instead of could or should
Gonna believe in the promise "It's all good"
[Chorus]
