Each Day

Oh to live each day as if it were your last!
To ignore the future, embrace the present and forget the past.

Such nervous creatures we are, always asking if we've done enough.
Such duplicity we share deep in our hearts; the cowards bluff and the tough... well they're tough.

No life is perfect, no one pristine
Which makes this all perfect, waking from a dream

All the knowledge we yearn for, we already know; it's just been forgotten as we're mislead by forces that do not have the common good at heart.

You are good enough, I am good enough, we are good enough.
