Present Future Past Lyrics

You're talking too fast, slow it down

I can't understand a word that you're saying

It's not a mystery

Why the answers never came to you

in spite of your praying

Hold on, it's not the fault of anyone around you

It's a matter of faith

And I know

There's more to living than just suffering

Through the problems we face

Everywhere you go

The story follows you

And everywhere you been

The story lives within

You're not the author you're along for the ride

Just like the rest of us we're trying to make to best of it

Yeah you could fight it or be thankful you're invited

This life you're living is a blessing not a curse

So many others had it worse

Buck up my friend

You're not the first or last

We are the present, future, past

The present, future, past

When I was younger

I thought I knew a thing or two

About this life I was living

But now I realize

What's on the surface is a fraction

Of the knowledge that's hidden

Blindfolds on every one of us

Designed to keep our power in check

It takes time to build a consciousness

Through registry of cause and effect

Everywhere you go

The story follows you

And everywhere you been

The story lives within

You're not the author you're along for the ride

Just like the rest of us we're trying to make to best of it

Yeah you could fight it or be thankful you're invited

This life you're living is a blessing not a curse

So many others had it worse

Buck up my friend

We're not the first or last

We are the present, future, past

The present, future, past

We are the present, future, past

Past, the present future past

We are the present, future, past

Past, the present, future, past

The present, future, past
