Don't think about yesterday,
for yesterday was the past.
Either about the future,
of how long we will last.

Tomorrow's not promised,
it is only given.
A gift from you know who,
to this generation.

Why are you looking into,
into the days to come by?
Can't you see that,
an hour from now, we might die?

Let's take it, day by day!

I wonder where you will be,
if there wasn't any tomorrow.
Will you be in Heaven,
or burning in your sorrow?

Don't look into the future,
for it isn't given yet.
It is a gift given from God,
so don't you forget.

Why are you looking into,
into the days to come ahead?
Can't you see that,
hours from now, we might be dead?

Let's take it, day by day!

I'm telling you all this,
because this was me.
Looking forward to tomorrow,
it's not the way, can't you see?

Why are you in rush,
a rush to live your life?
Live for today, not tomorrow,
for everyone, this applies.

This is all what
I have to say.
Don't live for tomorrow,
only for today.
