here and now

my heart is racing
and I'm seeing things clear
I've been searching for something
that has always been here
the time is right now
and I draw a breath in
mindful as I
release it again
and the wind strokes our faces
and rain soaks our feet
and fire turns matter
to smoke, ash and heat
and earth reaches out
to give all that we need
then we turn it around
and we cut it all down
and replace all its life with concrete
and it's so hard to find
just a little peace of mind
waking each day in this world
and with all that I do
and the things I've been through
they still treat me like I'm just a girl
so I look deep inside
where there's nowhere to hide
and I've finally found where I am
It's here and it's now
and it don't matter how
we're all doing the best that we can.
