put your worry and your fears
and your wanting and your tears
in that great big ball of fire
that every night expires
and tomorrow it returns
with no memory of pains
each new day it has to burn
for whatever that remains
there's no future and no past
just this day while it lasts
don't give up on hope
and be careful how you cope
so much has gone before
and tomorrow will bring more
The end it may arrive
more likely you'll survive
and as long as you do
there will be beauty left to view
don't forget to laugh and play
and whatever way you pray
ask for clear skies and no pain
but remember it must rain
always bring your umbrella
and help the other fella
with whatever you can spare
cause you've got lots to share
and take what you may need
but it takes love to succeed
and that can not be bought
with anything you got
but love flowing free
and growing like a tree
time will come to reclaim
all you were and all your fame
all you lost and all your blame
use it for tomorrow's flame
so forget all the the rest
just live by this one test
give as much as you can
to your fellow man
there's no need for a gun
we can all have our fun
some may crawl some may run
a prize waits for every one
as long as they have love
they are touched by what's above
with what's inside of you and me
the thing that can and must be free
let it burn eternally
and your wanting and your tears
in that great big ball of fire
that every night expires
and tomorrow it returns
with no memory of pains
each new day it has to burn
for whatever that remains
there's no future and no past
