Right now is the moment that you are alive
So put down your burdens and give yourself a high five
You can’t run away ‘cos there’s nowhere to hide
Right now is the moment that you are alive

If you’re stuck in the past you will never be free
Thinking life was better the way it used to be
When you're lost in the mist of your own memory
Look under your nose and I hope you can see

If you look too far ahead you are going to miss out
Consumed by anxiety, riddled with doubt
But when you’re on your deathbed you’ll you figure it out
You came in with nothing and you’re leaving with nowt

The state of the world’s driven you to the brink
You get out of your mind so you don’t have to think
And it’s all flashing by faster than you can blink
So wake up before it all goes down the sink

Wake up, smell the coffee make the most of the day
Or wear a stiff upper lip in the civilized way
Or get down on your knees, beg for mercy and pray
But the voices inside you just won’t go away

Too many opinions, you can’t hear for the din
You long for the day when you’re silent within
But don’t let the bastards get under your skin
Just take a deep breath and get ready to sing

Right now is the moment that we are alive
So put down your burdens and give yourself a high five
You can’t run away ‘cos there’s nowhere to hide
Right now is the moment that we are alive

Right Now Is The Moment That We Are Alive

Live take of a track I wrote about someone who stands out from the crowd. Inspiration was also taken from William Blake's poem, The Tyger. It's always the one people ask to hear at open mics :-) Hope you like it.

Tyger Stripes (live)

What'll we do when we make it big?
The big hit could come tomorrow
Whatif it all went wrong for me?
What if I ended up like Bono
I won't have time for autographs
I wanna get home for an early bath
What'll we do when we make it big?

What'll we do when we make it big?
You know it can be quite a concern,
You just can't write songs like this
Without success in return
What about the kids in the school,
While I'm beside that hotel pool?
Who'll be doing for the kids?
What'll we do when we make it big.

Let's put in a middle eight
It's what the kids want these days
Shame it's just a matter of time
Until fame and fortune's mine

What'll we do when we make it big?
Don't wanna smash up no hotel room
I wanna wake up Sunday morning
Home in bed with you
I just wasn't made for this kind of thing
Snorting coke off porcelain
Love's the only drug I want to dig
What'll we do when we make it big?

What'll We Do When We Make It Big?
