But now I've learned to live my life

Before the sun goes down

For tomorrow, when it finally comes

When the curtain of dawn fades away

The hopes are many, are crushed to dust

When they find there is nothing but today

As though it might be my last

And turn my back on the past

And wink at tomorrow, it don't scare me

I only live in today

While you might sit with your fingers crossed

And watch it all fade away
