TODAY IS THE FUTURE

WORDS AND MUSIC BY MARC LEBOW

(intro)
(verse I)
I met a man, he said ?live for today,
?cause a lifetime will pass you by.
Now, tomorrow seems near,
But it?s so far away,
Then it?s gone in a blink of an eye.
Yes, it?s gone in the blink of an eye?.

(chorus)
?Where does the time go??
He turned to me and he asked.
?We look toward the future, but see our past.?

(verse II)
He took me aside, and he cried unto me,
And a tear rolled down as he wept,
?Your journey, my son, of 10 thousand miles,
Shall begin with a single step,
Yes, begins with one single step?.

(chorus)
The seconds go so slowly,
And the years, they go so fast.
Today is the future, tomorrow?s our past.

(verse III)
He said, ?Son, don?t you know,
Time waits for no man,
And it surely doesn?t stand still.
So, move through your life,
Do the best that you can,
And I know that you will.
Yes, I know that you will?.

(chorus)
?Where does the time go??
He turned to me and he asked.
?We reach for the future, hold on to our past?.
The seconds go so slowly,
And the years, they go so fast.
We live in the future, die in the past.

Today is the future, tomorrow?s our past.
