The Present

Keep my thoughts in the present
Where I'm focused on my gifts
For every time I unwrap them
Something beautiful comes out 

Make me exist and live in the present
Cause my past is absent
It's no longer here with me anymore
So why would I want to keep marking the register 

Remind me of how the great the present is
So that at the back of my mind is my future
Cause as I sleep all I do is dream
Cause I my heads down face up looking onto God 

And show me opportunities in the present 
Cause I can't go back for those in the past
I can only count on now to make the future 
For I've got a lot of days to look forward to, call it future present
