Only Present Day
Embrace Today: Marco Buono's Anthem of Living in the Moment
Lyrics
You said what you're looking for, but nobody cared
You communicated your desires, but there was no attention or concern from others.
You always tried so hard, but life wasn't fair
You consistently exerted effort, yet life did not treat you justly.
I never realized how hard that must be
I was unaware of the difficulty until I personally experienced it.
Until I understood, 'cause the same thing happened to me
Upon understanding, I realized I faced a similar situation.
No more Yesterday! No more tomorrow!
Rejecting the past! Ignoring the future!
Only present day for joy or sorrow
Embrace the current day, whether filled with joy or sorrow.
Live for the moment! Don't plan too far!
Live in the present moment without extensive future planning.
Life is too short to waste it for wishing on shootin' stars
Life is too brief to squander on wishful thinking or unrealistic dreams.
Everybody's got hopes and dreams, but some focus too bad
Everyone harbors aspirations, but some fixate on them detrimentally.
If they fail and won't succeed at last, they'll be more than sad
If unsuccessful, the intense disappointment can surpass mere sadness.
It drags them down and they get hurt deep inside their souls
This failure deeply affects them, causing profound emotional pain.
Nothing else could be enough instead, if they haven't reached their goals
Nothing else satisfies them if they haven't achieved their objectives.
No more Yesterday! No more tomorrow!
Discarding the past! Ignoring the future!
Only present day for joy or sorrow
Live for today, whether it brings joy or sorrow.
Live for the moment! Don't plan too far!
Live in the present without excessive future planning.
Life is too short to waste it for wishing on shootin' stars
Life is too short to spend it wishing upon unattainable goals.
(Anyway) Be true to yourself and reach out for your dreams
(Nevertheless) Stay true to yourself and pursue your dreams, but be cautious not to invest too much.
But never give in too much! You might miss more than it seems
Excessive commitment might cause you to overlook more than you realize.
No more Yesterday! No more tomorrow!
Eliminate the past! Neglect the future!
Only present day for joy or sorrow
Only value the current day, whether it brings joy or sorrow.
Live for the moment! Don't plan too far!
Live in the moment without overly detailed future plans.
Life is too short to waste it for wishing on shootin' stars
Life is too brief to spend it wishing upon unattainable goals.
