Living For Today

(album: The Thrill Of It All - 1996)

Looking down from the mountains and out to the sea
You're aware in a moment, you're nothing in the scheme

But your vanity told you, you're more than a dot
And your arrogance keeps you, from thinking that you're not
So when it hits you, you're fading away
Cos you won't live forever, start living for today.

And the seasons are changing, faster all the time
Every day seems to pass by in the wink of an eye

Old man on the corner, laughing like a child
Clinging to a bottle, his broken eyes wild
Kept on a laughing, the people turned away
But he knows something we don't, he's living for today

So you crawl through your lifetime, a slave to the grind
But time overtook you, and left you far behind

So don't bother running, the moment is gone
Eats you like a cancer, but still you struggle on
Why try to fight it, you're dying anyway?
The future doesn't matter when you're living for today

Are you living for today?

Looking down from the mountains and out to the sea
You're aware in a moment, you're nothing in the scheme

But your vanity told you, you're more than a dot
And your arrogance keeps you, from thinking that you're not
So when it hits you, you're fading away
Cos you won't live forever, start living for today.

You're fading away
You're fading away

Start living for today
Start living for today.

Just try to live for today and don't hurt anybody...
