Live for the Day

The light of morn pours through the window To settle on pages torn The book, so old, vainly the truth waits for Someone to read but is untold Time is running out for the answer is clearer now Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure A latent visionary sees that which can't endure They take away the sadness, they take away the pain They say she'll never have to think for herself again Live for the day, live life the way you want to Give what you may But don't let them take life from you Too young, too shy, but even her ancestors Knew not when they would die The sands of time slipping away Whilst she meditates on her last crime Time is running out for the answer is clearer now Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure Holy they masquerade and purport to hold the cure They take away the sadness, they take away the pain They say she'll never have to think for herself again Live for the day, live and do what you want to Give what you may But don't let them take life from you Live for the day, live life the way you want to Give what you may But don't let them take life from you They're counting the sands of time They're touching the sound of moonlight They're sealing the book of life They're taking the truth from time Behind the ordinary lives something quite impure The taste of innocence found That taste which can't endure They take away the sadness, they take away the pain They say she'll never have to think for herself again Live for the day, live and do what you want to Give what you may But don't let them take life from you Live for the day, live life the way you want to Give what you may But don't let them take life from you
