Vow to Here and Now

Life's a game and I wanna play
between mistakes and raising stakes
Set me back and I'll get the knack
one day,
to find out
it's here and now

Tread where none have trod before,
ignoring goals and/or playing roles
Embracing life's uncertainty,
today
we vow
to here and now

Against all odds, against the tide,
learn to swim and enjoy your ride
swimming up up against the tide

If experience is a comb
life gives you when your hair is gone,
grow a beard or pass the baton
to straigh–
straighten out
life here and now

Make it hard or it ain't no fun:
The rule's 'you lose
when you think you've won',
'cause looking for a prize
only strains the eyes
So stay,
stay and vow
to here and now

Shout 'the game is now'
Now, now, now, now, now

Against all odds, against the tide,
learn to swim and enjoy your ride
swimming up up against the tide

Life's a game and we wanna play
between mistakes and raising stakes
We've been set back but we get the knack
today,
today we vow
to here and now
