lyrics

V1
Now is all I have
Although I long for so much more,
The stars they all will die
But not in my lifetime,
I breathe
I need
I want to see
That I am solely in control,
But if we return to dust,
What fate has my soul?

CH1
Time’s an invention of the hand
You can do it if you can,
At the end of the day
You’ll find a way
To never cop it from the man,
The bastards are in the past,
Don’t lust
Or wish your time away,
Embrace
This place,
The good -
It shouldn’t
Go unnoticed ‘coz
All you have is today.

V2
I’m the luckiest person that I know
Even sometimes I forget,
Or feel my heart it could stop,
And feel the panic set in,
But I’m present,
I ‘get it’,
Live with no regretting,
I’m the water,
I’m the breeze,
Sometime when there is drought,
Only time brings relief.

CH2
Time’s an invention of the hand,
You can do it if you can,
Idolise yourself,
Live for no one else,
Expression is life well spent,
There’s no ‘event’
Just the present,
Surround yourself with good,
Just pause,
You’ve more
To give
Just live
And take each day the way you feel you should.

BR
I’m torn,
I feel so small,
Precarious presence,
Unsure,
Hanging by a thread
That’s feeling taught,
We’re not alone,
We are home,
We’re on the same ship
On a one way trip,
But the Captain is I,
And I’m taking it slow.
