Stop living in the past
Because the past goes away
One second after midnight
Is already today
See the future’s not promised
Some people say
So there is only right now
Anyway okay

Consider mistakes
That you’ve made in the past
Building blocks for the future
That will get here real fast
It’s hard to change the color
Once the dye has been cast
View it as life experience
That you’ve amassed

One second after midnight
Is already today
Thank God for
Each moment
You’re allowed to stay
Another chance for forgiveness
Has come your way

None of us knows what
Tomorrow has in store
Whether it will get here
We can’t say for sure
If it does let's try to do it
Better than we did before
That’s the best we can hope for
We can’t hope for much more

Stop living in the past
Because the past goes away
One second after midnight
Is already today
See the future’s not promised
Some people say
So there is only right now
Anyway okay
