Present, here and now

We know not what the next moments do

And past ones are an illusion too

All that’s left is the here and now

It’s the one we must live through.

Countless shadows loom around

Unseen embrace of hidden arms surround

This moment is the only one lit

While everything else is darkness profound.

We can use this light to brighten our day

And realise every dream and wish, per se.

For all that’s left is the here and now

It’s the one we must live through.

This moment, the present, is the celebration

It’s the passion, the look, and the flirtation

Here and now encompasses our whole world

One moment can undo ages of oppression.

So use it to change the world for the better.

Say your apologies and mean every letter.

For all that’s left is the here and now

It’s the one we must live through.

We know not what the next moments do

And past ones are an illusion too

All that’s left is the here and now

It’s the one we must live through.
