Why should I do it now?
Why can't it wait?
I'm in no hurry
I won't be late
I put it off yesterday
Now today is here
Tomorrow sounds better
What is there to fear?
But what if tomorrow
never comes?
What if I had the chance
and didn't take it?
What if I dressed for the dance
but didn't make it?
What if I looked at my watch,
but time slipped away?
What if I waited...and waited
for yet another day?
What if that day
never comes
to right a wrong,
to hug someone,
to read a book,
to sing a song
to go some place,
and watch the setting sun
So today is all we have
There is no guarantee
Every second is a gift from God,
a gift for you and me
