lyrics

here and now

You can spend a lifetime trying
to run that dollar down
You can find the right time to notice
the beauty all around
capture the mystery behind
the grace of loving eyes
or sacrifice the moment to
the future’s distant prize

I’m living in the here and now
my dreams are so immediate
they’re all that I’ll allow
I see and I experience the tao
I’m living in the here and now

Everybody’s chasing a rainbow
like it’s never going to end
moving from lover to lover
and passing from friend to friend
nothing is forever anymore
not a promise or a kiss
yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow you might miss
I’m living in the here and now
my dreams are so immediate
they’re all that I’ll allow
I see and I experience the tao
I’m living in the here and now

Time is a part of my history
that I learned when I was young
now is the place I live in
when all is said and done
Tao is the way that takes you
between the lyric line
soon you are still and unfolding
as the tangles all unwind

You’re living in the here and now
your dreams are so immediate
they’re all that you’ll allow
you see and you experience the tao

you’re living in the here and now
