My thanks to Tara, who posted a bit of this song from Rent and reminded me how beautifully inspiring it is:

(excerpts from Another Day)

The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There’s only us
There’s only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today…

I can’t control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be.
There’s only now
There’s only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today…
