Title: 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 Male: Hear the sky calling Female: Feel the world turning Both: 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
