Power of Now
If you could buy a second to be with someone, would you?
What if you only have one more chance to see that view?
Time is always the winner of this game
No matter what, it remains untamed
We are just humans with no power
And time is always the one who's clever
We're all fighting for this losing battle
But Now has the power regardless of time
The moment you let yourself be trapped by it, it's a sign you've accepted an early defeat
Time flies by so just fly with it
We'll all be lost to it one day
So now, why not enjoy the play.
