lyrics

Build a house to crown a future

Tear one down to douse the past

In a world where much is fleeting

Need a crutch that everlasts

And time is on your side

But we seldom ever learn

Time's a traitor in the end

In leaving--never to return

But don't hang your head in sorrow

For now is just a thought away

You can't do everything with all of your tomorrows

But you can do anything today.



A man gets used to anything

Of this we all stand accused

For every ship in my heart's harbor

There are ten my lips refuse

The light upon my map

Comes from the very sun

That will shine upon the treasures

Even when the day is done

Whether you beg, steal, or borrow

Either way you gotta' pay

You can't do everything with all of your tomorrows

But you can do anything today.



Dismay, my friend, is far too easy

When you only see October leaves

Protection is an age-old practice

When you've been told we are all thieves

This is it: my only heartbeat

These are the only hands I know

It's true that no one lives forever

It's true that seeds can only grow

So to those who sulk and wallow

Don't try and dress this in cliche

You can't do everything with all of your tomorrows

But you can do anything

You can do anything

You gotta' do something today.
