From Great Vow Monastery:

The Five Remembrances is a classic Buddhist teaching from the Pali Cannon. After years of annual recitation during our PariNirvana Sesshin at Great Vow, the Abbess, Chozen Roshi, asked Soten to put the verse to melody.
Do not dwell in the past;
Do not rush to the future.
Yesterday is done,
Tomorrow hasn't come.
We must be diligent today,
Tomorrow is too late.
Death comes without warning!
To now, I surrender my heart.
