From the recording Seize The Day
Time is like a thief in the night, stealing away a month here and there. This thief embezzles countless hours in our lives when we work excess hours, or perhaps when spending excessive hours on TV shows, video games, web browsing and chatting; frivolous socializing and even sleeping time away, (do to depression, lack of hope, lethargy, sluggish health and so forth).
Too much sand has already sifted through the hourglass by the time we realise that each day holds it own unique opportunities, just as the song says, "Life is a fight realised much too late.." However, at one point or another, we all get stuck in ruts. We're afraid of change and become all too comfortable with what is 'familiar'. No one else will grab the reins of life for us. Why not begin anew because NOW is NEVER too late! As Chakra Bleu reminds us all in her song: "Seize the Day! -Seek treasure of the heart...Aspire to be all you can!" Howe can we do this? Start by writing down your ideals in each department of your life. Take baby steps and don't judge yourself along the way. Keep a sense of humour and a thankful heart. Finally, as the song reminds us:"Feel the wonder of child again- (whereby an) adventurous spirit burns within."
Lyrics
SEIZE THE DAY
VERSE:
LIFE IS A GIFT REALIZED MUCH TOO LATE
WORKING TOO HARD OR WASTING YOUR TIME AWAY
SEIZE THE SAY – SEEK TREASURES OF THE HEART
FADE AWAY – TRIVIAL THINGS VOID AND FARCE
FEEL THE WONDER OF A CHILD AGAIN
ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT BURNS WITHIN
CHORUS:
SEIZE THE MOMENT - SEIZE THE DAY
DON'T LET LIFE JUST SLIP AWAY
LIVE AS THOUGH IT'S YOUR LAST DAY
DON'T LET LIFE JUST SLIP AWAY
VERSE:
SAND IN THE HOURGLASS KEEPS SIFTING DOWN
LIFE, IT ROLLS ON BY AND DOESN'T WAIT AROUND
SEIZE THE DAY – TAKE THE BALL AND RUN
DON'T DELAY – 'TIL THE GOAL IS MADE AND WON
TAKE YOUR DESTINY IN YOUR HANDS
ASPIRE TO BE ALL YOU CAN to chorus…..
BRIDGE:
JUMP OFF AND EMBRACE CHANGE – EXPAND BEYOND YOUR RANGE
DON'T SETTLE TO BE THE SAME – GO, STAKE YOUR CLAIM!
