My watch says NOW...!!!

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn’t use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, we’ve seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war

If a hurricane doesn’t leave you dead
It will make you strong
Don’t try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

And it rained, It was nothing really new
And it blew, seen all that before
And it poured, the Earth began to strain
Pontchartrain buried the 9th Ward to the 2nd floor

According to my watch the time is now
Past is dead and gone
Don’t try to shake it just nod your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Don’t try to explain it just bow your head
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

According to my watch the time is now, the past is dead and gone...Wow...

And still, this is a great mindset… yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift; that is why it is called the present!!!

How many times have I gotten hung up on the past or worried about the future, when I should just take a breath and keep on moving?

How many times would it have been a great thing for me to look down at a watch that said “NOW”.

I don’t have some profound point to make about this. I’m just writing because the song makes me think. Hopefully, it’ll make you think, too.
