about

A wake-up call to everyone (including myself) with relatively
comfortable lives, to take time out to feel lucky, while many are struggling in the current economic climate

lyrics

Never have to crave the things I’ve never had
Never think about what it’s like to be underfed
So maybe take a little time to step away
And think about what might have been
Right now…

Never have to feel afraid of being cold
Never need to fear the cost of growing old
So dare to take a little time to steal yourself away
And just think about where you might have been
Right now…

Sitting alone, you have the time, to think about the life that you have led
Look outside your tiny world – good fortune that so many never have
Then the lightbulb switches on, consciousness has begun
Looking around, you have the time, to appreciate the luck that you have had
Right across the wider world – opportunities so many never have
Then the lightbulb moment comes, a sobering thought to take on
The lightbulb moment comes, a sobering thought to take on, it’s humbling…

Never need to feel afraid of unpaid bills
Never feel that my life is unfulfilled
So why not take a little time to steal yourself away
And just think about who you might have been
Right now…
