and taste each sweet moment.
The stream keeps hurrying past,
and every sunrise rushes to set.
Try to hold on,
and the days just slip faster
in a haze of fear and boredom.
"What if I'm never good enough?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"How did I get so trapped?"
"Why does it hurt so much?"
"Why does nobody care?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"How will I ever get out of this?"
We all know what we need to do,
somehow.
But how to take that first step,
when we might fail?
Why do we think we'll never make it,
just because it's hard to begin?
Why do we give away our power?
You can wait a lifetime,
but you'll never hear permission to be great.
You can wait a lifetime,
but that guarantee will never come.
You can wait a lifetime,
but never find the prefect moment.
Don't wait for what won't arrive.
Yesterday is gone,
and tomorrow may not come.
Time keeps flowing on,
all-powerful time, piling day on day
without end.
Be sure to spend that time living,
not waiting.
