The light flickers on, like the sparks in my mind I've been waiting so long to change my usage of time You know I need it All my fears are too strong, have to keep my hands on what's mine Cause I need it, oh I need it I've been walking ahead Always losing myself Replaying words that I've said From the past where I dwell Got to find a way somehow to Live in the now Live in the now Trade my blues for sunshine lately Live in the now Live in the now, baby There's always peace to be found I'm tuning it out I'm turning it down To live in the now The memory fields are all chaff It's time to burn them all Ain't no light in the past Just another black hole There's nothing left, honey There's no future that lasts When you don't know the facts Or what you're living for Cause I need it, oh I need it To love in the now This is the now
