Analysis of It's either now or never

Lesedi Segaola 2005 (Phalanorwa)



*IT'S EITHER NOW OR NEVER*

I was told to fight,
But to fight what?
Always got encouraged to win,
But to win which challenge?

I could not fight for good life,
But I always had strong visions
I did not see myself winning
But I always fitted

Each day fighting for the future,
To me was tomorrow
Wasting today's 24 hours,
Hoping to fix things tomorrow

Not until now that am old,
Ruined the opportunity
Time wasted can never be regained,
I played with my life as a ball

What you think you can do,
Do it today, tomorrow may be cursed
Make it work today, today is a blessing!
