lyrics

Iv sabotaged ambition
iv pissed on my parade
iv never known my feelings
more than the traps they've laid.

And i have been seduced by
the sword of many words
they cut me like a thin slice
of very tender bird

And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around

my love has known no meaning
no closeness or no trust
i blow the very moment
that would have paved for us

a future of god willing
what ever it maybe
but rejected chances
they always passed by me

And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around
thank god you're still around

And now I'm looking backwards
so i can look ahead
to see the whys and were fores
the weaving and the thread

so i can see the story
upon this tapestry
where i have laid my life down
so you can be with me

And I'm grateful for the friendships
i may have won or lost
and I'm pulling into focus
the love and all its costs

And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around

And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around
thank god you're still around
