Serge Jupiter Sweet acoustic rock of stellar production with the voice of an angel as a distinctive feature. At first I've read the lyrics and thought mmmm such a great meaning and after I hit play... man... it really got me in tears

Ulya23 The most important things in life are easy to miss in the hassle of daily routine; and who knows it best than a person battling with cancer. Eric Scott does a great job performing a touching song without turning to sugary pop tearjerking.

WNPT Lyrics

I remember when I missed everything
Blue sky
Sunshine
Pouring rain

Walking over every Lego Masterpiece
It took my boy a week to build

Taking for granted every song heard
Falling from his lips like a little bird
Way too busy in my own world and
When all I had was time to kill

Then one phone call…
Changed it all…

We’re not promised tomorrow
We only own what we have today
Feels better to let go
‘cause you don’t know
When it could go away

Every moment is borrowed
Every minute is a chance to find
What you lost when you grew up
Sold out
And left it all behind

It’s all about
Right here and now
We’re not promised tomorrow

Voice on the line never felt so cold
Talking about some damn test results
There’s a hole in your head and it don’t look good
Better come in right away

Three months later I can barely stand
Hair gone, looking like half a man
Watching time slip right through my hands
And learning how to pray

I’m way too young
To be said and done

We’re not promised tomorrow
We only own what we have today
Feels better to let go
‘cause you don’t know
When it could go away

Every moment is borrowed
Every minute is a chance to find
What you lost when you grew up
Sold out
And left it all behind

It’s all about
Right here and now
We’re not promised tomorrow

(guitar solo)

Now I can see all those little things
Tomorrow better make room for me
‘cause I keep praying that I might see
My boy become a man

It’s been 19 years
And I’m still here

We’re not promised tomorrow
We only own what we have today
Feels better to let go
‘cause you don’t know
When it could go away

Every moment is borrowed
Every minute is a chance to find
What you lost when you screwed up
Sold out
And left it all behind

So shout it out
Right here and now

Yeah, shout it out
Right here and now

We’re not promised tomorrow
Mmmm…. We’re not promised tomorrow
