Tunesmith Tuesday - "For Now" from "Avenue Q

Why does everything have to be so hard?

Maybe you'll never find your purpose

Lots of people don't

But then I don't even know why I'm alive

Well, who does, really?

Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied

Everyone goes 'round a little empty inside

Take a breath, look around

Swallow your pride for now

(For now)

Nothing lasts, life goes on

Full of surprises

You'll be faced with problems

Of all shapes and sizes

You're going to have to make

A few compromises for now

For now

But only for now

(For now)

Only for now

(For now)

Only for now

(For now)

Only for now

For now we're healthy

For now we're employed

For now we're happy

If not overjoyed

And we'll accept the things

We cannot avoid, for now, for now

For now, for now

But only for now

(For now)

Only for now

(For now)

Only for now

(For now)

Only for now

Only for now

(For now there's life)

Only for now

(For now there's love)

Only for now

(For now there's work)

For now there's happiness

But only for now

(For now discomfort)

But only for now

(But now there's friendship)

Only for now

(For now)

Only for now

Only for now, sex!

Is only for now, your hair!

Is only for now, Fox News!

Is only for now

Don't stress, relax

Let life roll off your backs

Except for death and paying taxes

Everything in life is only for now

Each time you smile

(Only for now)

It'll only last a while

(Only for now)

Life may be scary

(Only for now)

But it's only temporary

Everything in life is only for now
