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
