Live..for today

Where the mind thinks a lot

Where you can hear the wheel turning,
Confusion abounds there

Simplicity is often the way out
Too complicated makes for tough living
Too easy means lowering your standards

Love isn't easy, and it changes definitions
With every new person that we meet
Like maggie in runaway bride
I end up liking new eggs
for every new person that i meet

Work is god..God is work
And people are here to yell at you
You run, sprain your ankle and you walk and you jog

But it's not enough..not enough
Coz somebody, somwhere ...everyday is much better
So you try harder and push yourself
Till there's no room for mistakes

Till your heart and mind are focused
On one and only thing
And you try and try
You fall back and get up
Coz with every fall, you know you won't do it again

And you learn and learn...till you feel you know everything
And then....you start all over again
Still more..and always more

And one fine day, you say " Enough"!
I want to explore, I want a break
I want time out

And you mean to go..you really want to
But there's the bills to pay and kids to feed
And the car insurance and home loans

And you stay where you are, saying
"Mebbe next year"
And the years keep on adding on

So if you're smart and life loving
You take a day off..and discover
Even if it's your own city

And you feel the simple pleasures
And life's little moments
And you cherish them
Along with the old and new
The bad and good

You dream..and for that moment

You live...for you


So that when tommorow comes
You can go back
To being a provider, a father, a keeper
A machine

But for today - You live
