about

From the album Rehearsal 4 Reality. (Sourced from the Illegal Noise CD)

lyrics

​It ain’t no good to lay in bed at night
And worry about the past
And think of how you could have done things differently
But things just happened way too fast
Just close your eyes and go to sleep
Let the angels guide your dreams
And let that pain unwind behind you
And float away on silent streams

You must live your life the best you can
Though you sometimes do your worst
And learn to laugh when you fail
It’s not the end of the world
Your life’s a play you can’t rehearse
Don’t make big plans for tomorrow
You can’t control what lies ahead
You must try to live each moment as it comes instead

There’s no use dreaming of a perfect future
Or regretting a troubled past
It’s only today that counts
Live it like it might be your last
It’s only today that counts
Live it like it might be your last

It never helps to worry
And it never hurts to pray
Tomorrow will come soon enough
Try to take care of today
Just relax and trust your life to God
The future is in his hands
Only faith will help you face this life’s demands

There’s no use dreaming of a perfect future
Or regretting a troubled past
It’s only today that counts
And it might be your last
It’s only today that counts
So live it like it might be your last
Live it like it might be your last
So live it like it might be your last
