Try to remember when
Everyone was happy
Nobody was hurtful
When
People actually cared
And your friends were always there

Imagine if people didn’t worry
About the things that haven’t happened
Or the things that already occurred
If people lived in the present
Would this be a different world?

If it’s meant to happen it will
You can’t tell when so
Why are we only thinking of that?
Can’t we just worry about it when it happens?
Can’t we be thankful that we’re here?
Isn’t that all we need

Imagine if people didn’t worry
About the things that haven’t happened
Or the things that already occurred
If people lived in the present
Would this be a different world?

Just imagine that

My friend was all upset, and I was trying to make her feel better. I turned the advice I gave her to a song.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
