Now
Blinded by the seconds we invented
To measure time
Killing spirits is all we do
In the world that does not exist
Anywhere but in our thoughts

Are we dependent of the past
That never happened?
Are we afraid of a future
One of many that could be?
Helping ourselves
Through time of change
Change we cannot embrace
Change we cannot feel
And yet it happens
With or without our consent

Time is change
Life is ever changing
For better we hope
And fear for the worse
Why the fear
Why do we cry
Over things that doesn’t exist yet

We feel weak when faced with time
We feel weak when faced with ourselves
We can say hello in 100 languages
But could not speak to our soul
To look inside is an imperative
To reach outside is a must

To inhale the imagination
Of a child that has no fear
Is what can help us
Free ourselves
Of the burden that has no name
Nor face and yet has slowed us down

We fight each day again and again
Against our demons with no power
And it seems to us as though we lose the battle and the war
And all we have to do is look inside
And free our mind of the ignorance that holds us in prison
And makes us blind of the kindness
that this world was built upon

Kiss now cause the future is too far away
Love now cause the past will wash away
sooner than tomorrow
Live…Now!
