Live Today

Isn't weird how
Life goes so fast
Isn't weird how
Nothing lasts
In this world
In this heart
We are fading away
"Chorus"
When we die
Time will carry on
The clock will keep
Ticking
The sun will rise and fall
As if nothing happened
And we will fade away
So why don't you
Why don't you
Live today

Isn't weird how
We work our whole lives
We disguise
Our displeasure
Our desire for more
And the hope that we
Won't be ignored
"Chorus"
When we die
Time will carry on
The clock will keep
Ticking
The sun will rise and fall
As if nothing happened
And we will fade away
So why don't you
Why don't you
Live today
"Bridge"
Live today
Live today
Live today
Live right now
Stand up look around
Do you see this world
Do you see the beauty
Now just live life to eternity
"Chorus"
When we die
Time will carry on
The clock will keep
Ticking
The sun will rise and fall
As if nothing happened
And we will fade away
So why don't you
Why don't you
Live today

This is so Grassroots.....sha,la.la,la,la,live for today,and your worries about tomorrow,hey,hey,hey!So.....I loves this!Anything that can take me back to the "good ole days" is a winner in my eyes!One thing though,why doesn't your sun,set!In this, it "falls" which is cool, if it had a great rhyme attached.......

Haven't thought of a rhyme for that yet haha

By the way........HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thank you Doug. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I think Doug hit the nail on the with his "grassroots" comparison. I couldn't agree more..

Ironically, I have a song with the same title. I think they both express the need of living for today upside worrying about the past or being anxious about the future, but you took a slightly different approach. This is just my quick reworking of it.

Isn't it weird how time passes by so fast?
From dust to dust and ash to ash
I've come to know that nothing ever lasts
And I cry out with a bitter plea
For in this world, and in my heart,
I feel the pull of another fading away

But the clock, the clock will keep ticking
Even after the big hand strikes noon
I'll say, "Wait, you've gone too soon,"
But the clock, the clock will keep ticking
Before you and go and fade away
Promise me you'll live for today

Wow that was a really nice rework of the song I love that. I'm not really sure where I'm gonna take this song musically yet but what you wrote has given me some ideas for this song thank you so much.

Yeah, I'm glad I could help. If you come up with a good riff to go along with it, I'd like to hear it.
