lyrics

I used to be back there - soon I'll be somewhere
But in the meantime, I'm here
I don't have a map but I can steer
Sometimes I feel down - sometimes I feel up
But all of the time, I feel
That's how I know, it's real

*Oh, seize the day - squeeze every minute from the hour
Don't let a second slip away - use it now, you have the power
O - o - oh, seize the day

From the day of my birth - till the day of my death
It's such a fragile piece of time
It's the only thing I can call mine
Yesterday I was young - tomorrow I'll be old
But in for today this age will do
And from this point of view, each day is new
*
A stranger yesterday - became a friend today
And if I never see you again
Your spirit is with me 'til the end
I used to be back there - soon I'll be somewhere
But in the meantime, I'm here
This moment right now, all is clear
