Live Life Moment by Moment

Life is just about this moment, are you living it?

Or has life escaped you, bit by bit

Life is just about the 'now,' make the best of it

Celebrate every moment of life, don't just simply sit

Life is not about yesterday, yesterday is gone

Life is not about tomorrow, it is not yet born

Life is about this moment, life is about 'now'

I'll be Happy every moment, take this solemn vow

Life has a purpose, we don't realize that it’s a big treasure 

Life is not just meant to be chasing every pleasure

Every moment of life is given to realize this

Moment by moment, we lose life chasing Happiness

Life is not a long journey that starts at birth

Life is not all about the years that we live on earth 

Life is not the many years that we live till we die 

Life is blissful now, sing like a bird in the sky

Most of us are missing life, waiting for it to pass

We don't know how to truly live, did we miss this class?

 Life is not a long journey that will go on and on

Life is about 'now', tomorrow it may be gone

Many of us fill our life with fear, worry, and stress

We don't know how to live life with Peace and Happiness 

Those who learn to live life, living in today

They smile, laugh, and love, no matter what comes their way

There is only one way to live, it is living in the 'now' 

Not facing all our problems, with sweat on our brow 

We must do our best with life, with the given plough 

And then, surrender to what will be, this we must allow

For what can man do, other than doing his very best 

Once he does that, to the Divine, he surrenders the rest 

He learns to live each moment, with faith, trust and hope 

And so, with life's battles, he is able to cope

Those who lose the treasure of life filling their mind with junk 

Those who don't tame their monkey mind and make it into a monk 

They live their life jumping from a thought to another thought 

Life was just about 'now', this truth they forgot

The enemy, the thief, the rascal, is our very own mind

It bombards us with thoughts and steals our life, we find 

Moment by moment, we lose life as we desire and we crave 

It is our mind, that makes us cry, right until our grave

Instead of accepting whatever happens, living with a smile 

We cry, we scream, and we question, unhappy all the while 

We don't realize that what is unfolding in life every day 

It's a reaction of our own actions, the price we must pay

Life has a purpose, we must realize this before we die

Life is not just about wandering on earth and in the sky 

Before we die, we must achieve our life goal

To realize we are not body and mind, we are the Divine Soul

If we let the moments of life pass one by one

Though we achieve trophies, the victories that we won 

Before we realize our treasure of life will be gone

We will suffer on earth and then, we will be reborn

We must live every moment Conscious of the Truth

We must invest every minute getting to the root

Moment by moment, we must live, in Consciousness

 Realizing the Truth, and with it, getting eternal Happiness

The sun will rise, and the sun will set, soon life will pass by 

Moment by moment, day by day, we will laugh and cry

But how can we live without Sorrow, with Peace and Happiness 

It's by living moment by moment, we must learn this

If moment by moment, we let our life simply pass

When we wake up, it may be late, we will cry, Alas!

The gift of moments was given to us, for us it was to use 

But we lost moment by moment, this why did we choose?

It's not too late, we can wake up, and start living 'now'

We can find the purpose of life and stop grazing like a cow 

We are still alive, and our moments are yet in our hand 

We can live life, not let it slip away, just like grains of sand

Death is certain, we can't escape it, every 'body' must die 

There is no use to look up at the sky, to cry and ask 'why?' 

The only way to live life moment by moment with Joy

Is to be Conscious of the secret – Who is this 'I'

And soon, life will be over, this gift will be gone

Swinging like a pendulum, into the future not yet born 

Life will escape us as we suffer and we cry

Let us transform our life, wake up to a new dawn

Let us become Conscious in every moment we live 

Nothing belongs to us, let us learn to give

Let us spend each moment, achieving the ultimate goal 

We are not this body and mind, we are the Divine Soul

Life is not a journey that lasts many years

Life is not just about a few smiles and many many tears 

Life is only about this moment, and we must live it 

Otherwise, the moments will escape and so will life with it
