Now and then, two worlds apart
Separated by the beating of our heart
One is present, vibrant and alive
The other is a memory, destined to survive

Now is fleeting, constantly in motion
Then is a fixed point, a distant notion
Now is filled with possibilities and chance
Then is a reminder of a past romance

Now is the sun that rises every day
Then is the moon that shows us the way
Now is the laughter that fills the air
Then is the silence, a somber affair

Now is the hope that keeps us going
Then is the faith that keeps us growing
Now is the journey we take each day
Then is the path that showed us the way

Now and then, two worlds collide
One is where we live, the other inside
Now is a moment, a chance to begin
Then is a memory, a place we've been.
