Now

Let's paint our faces today with every hue from every pallet of color God has given.
Let's do it all now while we can.
Let's dance amongst the dead of this earth while we are still living.
Let's wear what we want, flowered skirts and brimming bright hats fill the grassy fields of the land.
Let's blast the music so loud while we can still hear what's to come next.
Let's stare into each other's eyes as we twirl in every direction of tonight's winding wind.
Let's drink and be merry because the night is as young as the earth is old.
Let's do all that we can while we have we have other,
Because things change, people change,
But we still have now.
