The Moment

The Moment
(by Michael Clem)

Take your date book out
Rip out future months
Right now is our moment
We’ll have it only once

Next week has it’s back to you
Last week brings you guilt
Live in the moment starting now
Live in the moment starting now

Take your diary out
Throw that thing away
Archives are just payload
Heavier than today

Yesterday will taunt you
Tomorrow doesn’t care
Live in the moment starting now
Live in the moment starting now

Gather up your savings
Tear up all our debts
Scrap your aspirations
Lose all your regrets
Eat a stick of butter
and park it at the bar
There’s no concern outside of where you are

Throw that placard down
The end’s not coming soon
I have on good authority
Judgment Day’s at noon
But I don’t have the answers
The questions, I forgot
But the end’s at noon, so now is all we’ve got
Live in the moment starting now
Live in the moment starting now
