Take it as it comes

 

Ok, life's pretty serious and complicated - but it's always worth stepping back from the fray, reflecting a little and just letting it flow.

"Breathe the air around you, take it as it comes".

Lyrics

Take it as it comes

There will come a time when all this will be ashes
There will come a time when all our passions will be spent
There will come a time when life might seem quite hollow
But until that time, let us celebrate
 
There may come an hour when you grasp the meaning
There may come a day when you see beyond
There may come a moment when all truths seem apparent
But until that time, keep an open mind
 
There could be a year when time passes slowly
There could be a minute that never seems to end
There could be a second when all life passes before you
But until that time, take it as it comes
 
If you have a moment reflect upon your shadow
If you have the chance smile upon the sun
If you can be bothered spend some time just thinking
Breathe the air around you, take it as it comes
 
Life is full of spices, colours and bright noises
It may be cold and damp, it may be hot today
Work with all the contrasts, the blessings and the vices
Take it from me, take it as it comes
