Carpe Diem

This morning like every other morning
A chapter opens as the past one closes
Optimism keeps the bright sun shining on the horizon
Every moment now without much agenda
Living the essence of Carpe Diem

A random vision of future endeavors
What are our future selves dragging us through now, well
This time for enjoyment, time for fantasy
Time for wondering where or who we’ll be
Let’s take this time to take our time
Ahead life lies and we’ll all be fine
Hold on to this day
Hold on to this day

Our youth will last for so long
We’re invincible and age appears to be so far along
Not yet sure where we’ll be
Knowing for sure where we are
So kick back under the sun and have a drink with me
Breathe deep and keep this in memory, before it’s time to leave
Hold on to this day
Hold on to this day

Doesn’t anyone realize that in a blink
Being responsible “hes” and “shes”
Referring to these times as the best times of our lives, our lives
Yeah!……….
Hold on to this day
Hold on to this day
Hold on to this day
Hold on to this day
Hold on to this day
Today
Carpe Diem
Hold on to this day
