Living For Today Lyrics

you look around what do you see? I'll tell you what I see is a world belonging to me take time to find what you may dream it's all right there within your grasp just beyond what you can see we're the ones, the only ones, strong ones, proud ones we're living for today those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay and if your life is going by to fast it's time for you to slow down time for you to make it last before you trip and slip and you will miss this happy little stepping stone just before eternal bliss your life goes by before you know you gotta take time to slow down better take time to veer off the road enjoy the sights while you are here there's nothing to fear but fear itself who knows when the end is near don't make plans with your hands tied you'll never know you're missing out repeatedly on the things that help you grow you've got to own your soul you've got to take control find a one day plan young man get this straight live for today

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Make the most of today, incase there is no tomorrow. Dont think of the past, as it is of no use.

Its about living for today, and not waiting for the future to get stuff done. It can relate to a junkie or an addict who says "I'll quit tomorrow" instead of quitting today. It also relates to not living in the past
