Now was once the future,
Our dreams that we should be living,
Now was once every hope and prayer,
Now was our vows constantly filled.

Now is now,
Our dreams crumbled behind us,
Now we pray new hopes and prayers,
Now our vows lie in the dust.

The future is the future,
Our dreams different from before,
Now we hope and pray separately,
Now, new vows are being written.

The past was once the future too,
Our dreams childish and simple,
Our life plans less complicated,
Our vows not even considered.

Now I ask you,
Sign these papers,
Now people rely on us,
Separately, not together.
