Today


from the ABC set Life & Loves

Today I looked around
And truly saw
Saw the drudge and the grudge
The old daily chore

People's faces locked in expressions
Their minds simply elsewhere
Rushing and a running
With not a moment to spare

Chillout
Relax
Step back and take a view
The day is so beautiful
Only once is it new

Today will be tomorrow
Of that there is no doubt
We live it just once
Come on, stand up and shout!

Do what you want
What you absolutely have to do
Reach out and go for it
Grab it, just do

For regrets they are so futile
No room on the lips
This world is for the brave
And those who dare take the trip

So live today as your last
Yesterday a memory
Be happy
Look up
Look out
And just see
