Lyrics
CATCHING UP WITH NOW
Living in fear day after day
Protecting our comfort at all costs
Watching ourselves as time ticks away
Ignoring the future when we feel lost
The devil we know is understood
future is scary we shield our eyes
Feels best to hover just behind now
false protection humanity cries
Chorus
We're catching up with now
And it's scaring us straight
Warnings surround us
Threatening our fate
Staring straight into the future
Are we content just to wait
Mirror of water tell us the truth
Inspire us to be great
We can watch without interruption
See the time bar slide within the past
Carefully control so we won't reach now
We hide our fears so we can stand fast
We have the knowledge, do we have the will?
Dancing round time bombs as if we can't see
We have it within to reach for the stars
If we dig deep to find what we need
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
What we must do is crystal clear
There's much to reassure
Mankind awaits our move
Learn from the future
Repeat Chorus
