Before we decide either to save the planet or destroy it
We pause for a moment of silence
That's not real silence at all
I mean real silence
In which we stop thinking
If I think all the time
I have nothing to think about except thoughts
And so I'm never in touch with the real world
Now what is the real world
But when does the waiting end
The present should be my friend
The future will never be now
And the past is always gone somehow
I must live for today
Now the present is the only real time
There is no past
And there isn't a future
And there never will be
When does the waiting end
The present should be my friend
The future will never now
And the past is always gone somehow
I must live for today
Leaving my past behind
Searching for what I must find
Is it effortless happiness
Knowing my conscience is clear
Leaving my past behind
Searching for what I must find
Is it effortless happiness
Reality is
You will find therefore
That if you get with reality
All sorts of illusions disappear
But you see
You can't conceive reality
But when does the waiting end
The present should be my friend
The future will never be now
And the past is always gone somehow
But when does the waiting end
The present should be my friend
The future will never be now
And the past is always gone somehow
I must live for today
