I life for the moment
My future's ahead
Today I am living
Tomorrow I'm dead

I live for the present
My past is long gone
Today life is real
Yesterday can't live on

If I live for tomorrow
My life is a dream
If I live for today
There's a world to be seen
If I live in the past
Then my life's memories
If I live for today
I can feel the soft breeze

I live for this time
For the next is not here
I live safe in today
Not tomorrow in fear

If I live for tomorrow
My life is a dream
If I live for today
There's a world to be seen
If I live in the past
Then my life's memories
If I live for today
I can feel the soft breeze

I live for the now
For back then has passed by
And now I can laugh
Where before I have cried

If I live for tomorrow
My life is a dream
If I live for today
There's a world to be seen
If I live in the past
Then my life's memories
If I live for today
I can feel the soft breeze
