Lyrics
Only Today
You count out the years
You measure your life
You reckon your days as the stars in the sky
And challenged with pain
You run from the task
You burden the future and curse at the past
And on and on you circle the void
That keeps all your dreams held at bay
As yesterday failed, tomorrow deceives
Your life is only today
With time in your hand
You barter for life
Its peace and its joy but its not what you buy
So shielding your heart
From the horror of death
You try to believe that the there's no final step
And on and on you circle the void
That keeps all your needs held at bay
As yesterday failed, tomorrow deceives
Your life is only today
Today, today, today ...
(echoes are - "is the day of salvation")
