Here And Now

Today I found a nickel
And I held it in my hand
I wished it lots of luck as I
Gave it to the homeless man
He said God bless you
I said God bless us both
He smiled and started laughing
I guess I told a joke
Here and now
Ready and willing
Touch my heart it is open
Kiss my soul if you're willing
I am ready to be living
Here and now.

Today I had a notion I had
To call up my old friend
She said she had a
Poem for me
And did I hear that
She was thinking of leaving
I said I will miss you
And then
I played her my new song
We laughed and cried
We never said goodbye
And when I called again
She was gone.

Here and now
Ready and willing
Touch my heart it is open
Kiss my soul if you're willing
I am ready to be living
Here and now.

Today I made a dollar and
I'm feeling very rich
I earned it with my labor
Yes I dug my ditch
I'm free from all my worries
And I cast away my doubts
I am living in this moment
And tomorrow's gonna
Work itself out.

Here and now
Ready and willing
Touch my heart it is open
Kiss my soul if you're willing
I am ready to be living
Here and now.
