Carpe Diem

Rain on the window, ticking like time
Every drop whispers: This moment is mine
Cold wind is calling, through broken skies
Echoes of seconds we let pass by

Leaves in the water, drifting away
Holding reflections that never can stay
Lightning reminds us, bright then it's gone
Life is a spark we're standing upon

We are the breath between the storms
We are the now before it's gone

Feel it now, running through your veins
Like thunder rolling through the rain
Every heartbeat screaming loud
Don't wait for someday in the clouds
Hold this moment, night and day
Before it slowly slips away
We are alive, we are the flame
Dancing in time we cannot tame

Clock hands are fading into the gray
Nature keeps moving, won't ever stay
Rivers keep running, oceans will rise
We are just moments passing through time

Touch every second, breathe every sound
Roots in the earth but feet off the ground
Storms never ask if we're ready to live
They come to remind us how much we can give

Hear the sky calling
Feel the world turning
We are the instant that won't return

Feel it now, burning through your veins
Like thunder roaring through your name
No more waiting, no more fear
The only lifetime is right here
Hold this moment, let it stay
Even as it fades to gray
We are the spark, we are the flame
Living a life we cannot tame
