Not later and not back then


Why do we think about the future and past?

Why don't we focus on the present?

The present is going by so fast.

One day to another.

We have the best life right here.

It's not later and it's not back then.

Your family and freinds will be here for you.

Not later and not back then. 

The sun will shine happiness upon the haters

Not later and not back then.

You will have your hopes and dreams 

Not later and not back then

We hear the messages from the heart

Not later and not back then

We read the books that speak to us

Not later and not back then.

We have the life that we need

It's not later and not back then.
