Lyrics
The Gift Inspired by a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt
Bruce Allen Hutchins
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
I know, I know, today?s a gift we?re given
Yesterday is dead and gone
You know tomorrow never comes
I know, I know, I know to live in the moment
Yes, we have to set our goals
And make our plans and I suppose
What we desire and will inspire
Is fabricated from those things
Balance is the trick, it seems
Between what?s here and in our dreams
Living life from memories
Or future plans that cause dis-ease
I know the moment?s all that truly matters
The past holds treasured memories
And lessons learned, holds the keys
The future holds the stepping stones
That lead us on our way
But keep in mind, and here?s the deal
The present is the thing that?s real
