Story Behind The Song

Inspiration for this song is the book of Ecclesiastes. This could be fatalistic if not for opportunity that today provides.

Lyrics

Only Today

You count out the years
You measure your life
You reckon your days as the stars in the sky

And challenged with pain
You run from the task
You burden the future and curse at the past

And on and on you circle the void
That keeps all your dreams held at bay
As yesterday failed, tomorrow deceives
Your life is only today

With time in your hand
You barter for life
Its peace and its joy but its not what you buy

So shielding your heart
From the horror of death
You try to believe that the there's no final step

And on and on you circle the void
That keeps all your needs held at bay
As yesterday failed, tomorrow deceives
Your life is only today

Today, today, today ...
(echoes are - "is the day of salvation")
