Don't Waste Your Time
Embrace the Moment: Pino Scotto's Call to Live and Fight for the Present
Lyrics
What would you say if your god decides
Contemplating how you'd react if your deity chooses to withdraw care and express anger
To take away his care and release his rage
Considering the consequences of living solely for self-importance and selfish desires
Living for your egos and greedy minds
Living for personal egos and materialistic gains
Get ready to face your final stage
Prepare to confront the ultimate phase or ending
Are you still after power and gold
Questioning if the pursuit of power and wealth is still your primary goal
Can't you see you're trading your life and soul
Realization that by chasing these desires, one sacrifices their essence and spirit
Hypocrisy a devil in disguise
Identifying hypocrisy disguised as something else
Run out of time and alibi
Running out of excuses and time
You may feel helpless every time somebody dies
Feeling powerless at the loss of others
There ain't no words left when another child's soul flies
Words fail to express the sorrow of losing innocent lives
Don't waste your time, don't waste your life
Advising not to squander time and life
You only have just here and now
Emphasizing the significance of the present moment
Stand by and wait
Rejecting waiting as the solution to progress
Can't be the way to make the world go round
Belief that waiting won't drive positive change in the world
World is sick no remedy to find
Stating the world's condition is dire without a cure
Scars and wounds took away the light
Reflecting on the damage and darkness caused by wounds and scars
Tell me why you're forgetting me
Questioning why one is forgotten or neglected
My body's shaking, my heart too bleeds
Expressing physical and emotional distress
You may feel helpless every time somebody dies
Feeling helpless witnessing the death of others
There ain't no words left when another child's soul flies
Experiencing a loss that leaves no words to describe the pain
Don't waste your time, don't waste your life
Reiterating not to waste time and life
You only have just here and now
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment again
So let them hear
Encouraging to make your voice heard
You have no fear
Asserting lack of fear
True fighters don't bow down
True fighters refuse to submit
Don't waste your time, don't waste your life
Repeating the advice not to squander time and life
You only have just here and now
Reaffirming the significance of the present
Stand by and wait
Rejecting waiting as the means to create change
Can't be the way to make the world go round
Belief that waiting won't induce positive change globally
Don't waste your time, don't waste your life
Advising again not to waste time and life
You only have just here and now
Underlining the importance of the present moment once more
So let them hear
Encouraging to express oneself fearlessly
You have no fear
Asserting bravery in not yielding
True fighters don't bow down
Defining the resilience of genuine fighters
