I. The Good Stuff
It feels good to be kind
Like I am growing
Puts me in my right mind
Like life is showing
Me the good stuff how to be
Human by humanity
It feels good to be me
I find being kind
Part of a family
Finally knowing
If better late than never
How now is our forever
And how this is enough
Now is the good stuff
II. The Rhyme of Time
Now is the rhyme of time because
Of all the when that ever was
Or will be then it still will be
Now again how it is for me
The only when I ever am
Or was for I am bound to be
Again now yes sir then yes ma'am
Now what and why and how I know
So now I am though round I go
Then to be found now when I do
A present time commends me to
And recommends now then to you
Forever how whenever was
The rhyme of time is what now does
III. Before I Go
I want to be better want to unfetter
Myself from my past at last
Would like to evolve before I go and grow
Try to solve as I revolve
The riddle of why I am before I die
Live though I may never know
The reason in the season of my turning
Tomorrow from yesterday
Whatever the reason never stop learning
Never turn today away
And being better for having been worse
To be a star pupil of the universe
A student of being here now to be
In the fall the best of all the rest of me
