lyrics

Yesterday’s history, it came and it went
and tomorrow’s a mystery, a path that is bent
you can pound on those doors and you won’t make a dent
but today is a gift
and that’s why we call it the present

Yesterday’s sorrows can bury you deep
and yesterday’s glories can lull you to sleep
but sorrows and glories can both give a bow
to the infinite privlege of being here now -- here now

Ch

Tomorrow’s fresh sunrise invites you to dance
and tomorrow’s new day is an endless second chance
but the dawn of a new day that hasn’t begun
is only a shadow compared to this one -- this one

Ch

In a moment
for a moment
just a moment
wait a moment

There’s only one moment that you’ll ever know
there’s only one breath -- take it in, let it go
and let go of the past, put the future away
for the rest of your life is beginning today -- today
