about

I wrote this song in Santiago, Chile, and polished it in Toronto.

lyrics

Oh I know that we all disappear from
Disappear from this life
And yeah I know what all them with it people say:
“Live the moment! Love the ride!”

Man I swear that I would like to have no end
To just move forward and not come back
I’d love to break through the final bend
And just relax
Just relax

The world’s astounding
But nothing lasts
Beyond a moment
Beyond a flash
The present moment’s gone so fast!
Time for action.
The chances pass.

Boy, I think that we all have some kid inside
Deep there watching things unfold
I don’t know what instinct you’re enlivened by
But I don’t feel right being told

Told to hold up someone else’s cup of gold
And raise a cheer like Man I’m Sold
The city’s full of broken-hearted modern souls
Who bought false wisdom from the old.
Oh God.

The world’s astounding
But nothing lasts
Beyond a moment
Beyond a flash
The present moment’s gone so fast!
Time for action
The chances pass.
