I can't see that far,
I'm simply blind,

I'm not scared of the future,
Just what I might find.


I try not to look back,
You can't change anything,
Be in the here and now,

Become this moment's king.

CHORUS

If I could trade,
the future for,
the present day,

I would say ...
This present is mine
I'm just fine.

If I was given the chance to look,
forward through time,
I'd decline ...

This moment is mine,
mine to shine.


I've got time on my side,
but it's forever slipping away,
and when that next time comes,

my minute will last a day

A genuine smile,

from ear to ear,
is worth so much more,
this second, this day, this year!

CHORUS
