Live Now!
The future races ahead of us
The past stretches out behind
All that really matters is now
And the urgency of this moment
Unspoken words still in our throats
Vie with memories that well up
Ifs and buts sits heavy and useless
Can and will seem to float above us
A brave new world is calling us
Echoes try to grab our sleeves
Stretch out your arms blindly
I will guide your steps safely
Eyes fixed; ever-ready in gaze
Hands grasp the here and now
Soothe yourself with warm embrace
and leave what was alone in its place
