It is quite normal to wish away bad circumstances and in this song, one is encouraged to be yourself and live today to the fullest, despite what struggles in which one finds themself. Drummer / Beatmaker Dudly performs a nice fast rap in the verses and with me in the pre-chorus. This is followed by Jan and me singing six track layers in the choruses, with Len adding his saxophone improvisations. This mix has over 30 tracks of recordings, making it complex, yet musical.
LYRICS
Intro
You only get one chance.
Verse1
I’m not the same.
I rack my brain,
To just explain,
But not complain.
Not raising Cain,
No gravy train,
No cold champagne,
But peace attained.
To break my chains,
I hope to gain
A brand new plane
I can sustain.
It’s my campaign,
Judgement restrain.
Be more humane.
True to self, remain. 4x
Pre-Chorus
I can say, I’m not the same.
I left him back in yesterday.
Sometimes it takes a lot of pain,
To get awake and see the way.
Chorus
Not living for today,
Much is lost. The future’s gray.
Not being in the moment,
Making plans that do get broken.
Rain, rain, go away.
Take the pain from yesterday.
Rain, rain, go away.
Please let me enjoy today.
Verse2
I should not care
What people say.
Like birds of prey,
Feed on hearsay.
It’s child’s play.
I can’t delay,
My right of way.
For peace I pray.
Break away,
A price to pay.
I’m on display.
My holiday.
My DNA.
All Saturdays.
Go all the way.
Go and live the day. 4x
