Living in the present tense
When you lose the past, the future makes no sense
Living in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame, no victim of consequence
Living in the present tense

Crawling out, secure and confident
Imbued with innocence, ready for the world
Suddenly, the view was more intense
Living in a different kind of world

You're living, living in the present tense
When you lose the past, the future makes no sense
Living in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame, no victim of consequence
Living in the present tense

Something is said, it made me step outside
The moment eyes pan right and left around my world
Open yourself, up to the possibility
Aware of some reality outside your world

In a silent universe
The moment can be so real, you almost can't stand it
In a distant universe, distracted from ourselves
You can't help but wonder

In a crowded universe
When the talking turns to noise, you almost start laughing

You're living, living in the present tense
When you lose the past, the future makes no sense
Living in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame, no victim of consequence
Living in the present tense

When there's nothing to blame, no victim of consequence
Living in the present tense, living in the present tense
